I've noticed I've developed a bunch of new tiny moles, each about 1mm or smaller, on my hands and legs. I'm a bit concerned and curious about what might be causing these new moles to appear. Any ideas on what this could mean?

The development of new moles, especially in areas like hands and legs, can be due to various factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and hormonal changes. It is important to monitor these moles for any changes in size, shape, or color. To help prevent further development of new moles, it is recommended to avoid excessive sun exposure and use sunscreen regularly.

I'm thinking about getting a permanent laser fairness treatment for my whole body because I have a pretty typical Indian skin tone, not too dark or too light. I'm really curious about which treatment centers offer the best results, especially if they're in or around Pune, and how much it might cost. I have normal skin, not sensitive, and I'm also wondering what steps I should take to keep my skin complexion fair after the treatment. Any advice would be appreciated!

I've been dealing with an itch in my groin area for the past week, and it's just not getting better. I've tried using Soframycin and Dermi5, but they don't seem to be helping. In fact, the skin's turned red and it looks like it's starting to peel a bit. What could be going on here, and is there something else I should try to get some relief?
