I've noticed a couple of small black spots on my scrotum that are about the size of a pimple. I'm really worried because I don't know what these could be. It's a bit embarrassing to talk about, but I recently shaved down there and it even bled from one of the spots. It healed but then the spot formed again. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I'm wondering if it's okay to use calak lotion on my skin, even though I don't have any issues with it right now. Is it fine to apply this lotion at night, and is it safe to use after putting on a herbal face pack? I'm just trying to make sure I take care of my skin properly.

Yes you can take it ,instead you can also apply good moisturizer

I've been dealing with some psychological issues recently and ended up with several blade cuts on my leg. Things are better now, but the cuts left a lot of marks. The scars aren't too deep since the blades only grazed the outer layer, but multiple cuts caused quite a noticeable scar. I'm looking for some advice on which ointment might help peel off dead skin and promote fresh skin growth. My skin's become extremely dry around those marks too. Could you suggest something that might help me with this issue?
