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 got into a road accident a couple of months back and ended up with some pretty bad wounds on my hands and elbows. They've healed now, but I'm left with these dark scars. Do you know of any ointment that can help get rid of these scars?

I'm really puzzled because my mustache just won't grow, yet my beard comes in perfectly fine. Could you help me figure out why this might be happening? Are there any dietary changes or specific things I should apply to encourage mustache growth?

It depends on multiple factors like genes,androgens, diet,no problem in some people it's naturally delayed but will grow...if you are bothered about it visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I'm really worried because I used Skin Brite cream on half of my face where I had a pimple, and now that part has turned much whiter than the rest. It's really noticeable and looks quite cheap, especially when I'm out in the daylight. Can you please advise on what I should do?

you can gently apply the cream all over the face for a period advised by your doctor,no need to worry the skin tone would become even with time.
