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.

So, I'm dealing with jock itch on my inner thighs and I'm wondering if it's still okay to keep up with my exercise routine. Is there any chance that working out could make it spread even more? I'm kind of worried about making it worse.

I've got these pimple-like bumps on my scrotum. They don't itch or bleed, but when I saw a dermatologist, he said it's angiokeratoma. He assured me they're harmless and not sexually transmitted. He suggested laser treatment if I wanted to get them removed. I'm curious, does laser actually work to get rid of them? Also, if I go ahead with the laser treatment, will it show up in any medical tests, like when I'm applying for government jobs? Please help me understand what to expect.

Its safe to get laser treatment dne and is not detectable in any tests unless you say the history of such event
