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've been diagnosed with DPN and my dermatologist said laser surgery is the only option but I'm hesitant about going under the laser. Are there any effective homeopathic treatments that could help reduce these bumps without invasive procedures?

While homeopathy isn't a scientifically established method for treating Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN), some homeopathic practitioners may suggest specific remedies based on individual symptoms and constitution. However, for DPN, surgical methods like cryosurgery, electrocautery, or curettage are generally considered the most effective treatments
