I've noticed some bumps on the shaft of my penis and I think I've got an ingrown hair too. I'm really not sure what's going on. What do you think I should do about this?

For bumps on the penis shaft and ingrown hairs, try gentle exfoliation with a warm washcloth, avoid tight clothing, and use a gentle shaving cream or trimmer to reduce hair ingrowth; apply topical creams like hydrocortisone or tea tree oil to soothe inflammation, and consider consulting a dermatologist or urologist to rule out underlying conditions like folliculitis, keratosis pilaris, or genital warts.

I'm really struggling with these freckles and DPNS on my face. Is laser treatment the only way to get rid of them? And if it is, how much would it cost? Also, I'm looking for a good skin clinic in Bangalore. Any recommendations?
