I've noticed that my dad has had this wart under his right armpit for quite a while now, maybe a few years. It doesn't bother him since it's not painful, red, or itchy. But the other day, he found another wart under his left armpit. This one hurts when he touches it, although it isn't red or itchy, and there's no pus. Could these warts be a sign of something more serious? Do you think he needs to get it checked out soon?

I've been using Tretinoin 0.25 cream regularly, and it worked wonders for making my skin bright and tan-free. But after moving to Mumbai post-marriage, my skin's gone dull, and I've started getting pimples. I still use the same cream, yet my face looks lackluster and off. Could you give me some advice on how to fix this?

I've noticed these white lines on the skin of my inner thighs. They seem a bit like stretch marks, but the skin feels thinner there. They don't hurt or itch, but they've been appearing more over the past three months and are getting longer. What's going on with my skin, and what should I do about it?
