I've had this mole on my foreskin for the past couple of years, and just recently, it's been freaking me out because it seems to be growing. I saw a dermatologist who said it's nothing serious, but I can't stop worrying. I keep thinking that it's itchy or that there's some pain around my penis, and it's freaking me out more because I can't tell if I'm just imagining these symptoms. What should I do? Should I be concerned, or am I overthinking it?

I understand your concern and anxiety about the mole on your foreskin. It's natural to feel apprehensive when it comes to changes in our bodies, especially in sensitive areas.

Firstly, Reassurance from a Dermatologist

The fact that you consulted a dermatologist and they reassured you that the mole is benign is a positive sign. Dermatologists are trained to diagnose and treat skin conditions, including moles.

Anxiety and Hypervigilance

I'm curious about whether salt water can actually affect my skin color or hair. I've heard that salt in water might turn your skin black or cause grey hair. Since most underground water seems to have salt, should I be worried about any changes in my skin pigment or hair color? Is it true that salt water isn't good for the skin? I'd really appreciate any advice you could give!
