I've noticed some spots on my scrotum and also on the shaft of my penis. After checking online, they look a lot like Fordyce spots, but I'm a bit worried it could be something else. Could you tell me what they might be and if I should be concerned?

I'm a bit confused about how to use the Ekran soft gel. Do I need to be in the sun after applying it, or is that not necessary? Also, should I only put it on the affected area or spread it across my whole face?

To use Ekran Soft Gel, you should apply it evenly to the affected area of the skin. There is no need to expose the skin to the sun after applying this gel. Just make sure to apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected area and gently massage it in. It is not necessary to apply it to the entire face unless directed by your doctor.

I'm thinking about starting to use cgro serum like one of the TV dermatologist recommends, but I'm already using minoxidil 10. Is it okay to use both together? I've been worried about any possible side effects or interactions between them. Has anyone seen good results using this combo, or should I be cautious about trying it out?
