I've noticed a lump on the skin of my penis shaft that just appeared out of nowhere. It's not painful or itchy, which is a relief, but I'm a bit worried about what it could mean. I haven't done anything that might have caused it, except maybe I masturbated about 23 days ago. Any idea what this could be? Should I be concerned?

I'm thinking about starting this new treatment and it says to apply it at night. Should I be doing this every night? Also, how often do I need to shampoo my hair? I'm wondering if it's okay to just head to work the next day without washing my hair after applying it at night. Would love some advice on how to fit this into my routine!

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I had a chemical peel on my face recently from a dermatologist, and now I've developed lichen planus. Could the peeling be the reason for it? I haven't taken any medications or done anything else that might have triggered this. I'm pretty concerned. What could be going on here?

no that wont give such reaction,visit your dermatologist to rule out the cause and appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with a tinea infection recently and after consulting with my doctor, I took fluconazole tablets. While the infection is gone now, it's left me with these large black patches on my skin. Could you recommend a cream or treatment to help get my skin back to its original color?

Usually it takes time to heal and no need to worry or rush to change the treatment,have patience and give some times to heal, consume balanced diet and take adequate rest for better results.
