I've just had an appointment with my doctor, and they mentioned that I have impetigo, but it got triggered by sunburn. I know impetigo is contagious, right? Does this still hold true even when it develops from sunburn? I'm a bit worried about spreading it to others.

I've developed this dark and rough skin on the sides of my nose, and while it doesn't itch much, it's been bothering me for about 3-4 months now. I scratched it once out of irritation, and that only made it worse. Though it's reduced a bit since then, I'm still not seeing much improvement. I tried using lemon juice, but it burned, so I've switched to aloe gel, but it doesn't seem to be helping either. Any idea what might be causing this and what I could do to make it better?

Consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized guidance, and in the meantime, try using a gentle exfoliating scrub, a topical cream containing niacinamide or kojic acid, and a broad-spectrum sunscreen to help improve the dark, rough skin on the sides of your nose.

I've noticed some small blisters on the head of my penis. They're really tiny and they showed up about a week after I had a viral fever. They don't itch or hurt, but I'm kind of worried about what they could be. Could this be something serious or is it just a part of recovering from the fever? Would really like some advice on this.
