I've noticed some small, painless bumps on the foreskin of my penis that don't itch or bother me at all. They've been there for over a year now, and Im just wondering what these might be. I've attached a photo for reference. Could you let me know what these bumps are?

May be Fordyce spots. Fordyce spots are harmless, small, yellow-white or skin-colored spots that can appear on the shaft of the penis, the labia, or the vermilion border of the lips. They are a type of ectopic sebaceous gland and are considered a normal variation. There is no specific treatment necessary for Fordyce spots, as they are benign and do not cause any symptoms. However, if you are concerned about the appearance or if they are causing you distress, you may consider consulting a dermatologist.

I'm wondering if it's okay to apply Xerina cream to my armpits to help with the rough skin and dark patches there. My doctor originally prescribed it for my elbows, but can it also be used on areas with inflammation? I'm just curious if it would be safe and effective.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I've got these three lines on my stomach that I thought were from when I was heavier. Now that I've lost weight, I still have them. What can be done to make them go away?

To help reduce the appearance of stretch marks, you can try using a topical cream containing Tretinoin. Apply a thin layer of Tretinoin cream on the affected area once daily at night. Additionally, you can also consider using a cream containing Hyaluronic Acid to improve skin hydration and elasticity. Make sure to consult with a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.
