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'm noticing these small white spots on my skin and Im a bit worried. Are these possibly symptoms of idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis? Is it something that's curable, and what treatments are available out there? I've attached a picture for you to have a look. Do you think it's IGH?

Idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis (IGH) symptoms include small, round, white or hypopigmented spots, typically 2-5mm in diameter, on sun-exposed areas like forearms, shins, and face; while it's not curable, treatments like topical corticosteroids, retinoids, cryosurgery, and laser therapy can help reduce appearance; consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and guidance, as a single image isn't sufficient for a definitive diagnosis.

What's the deal with sotret nf compared to just regular sotret? My doctor switched me to the nf version, and I'm curious about the difference between them. Should I be worried about changing medications?
