I've noticed these brown spots on the head of my penis for the last couple of months, and they seem to be getting bigger. They dont itch or hurt, but I'm worried because they darken when I press or scratch them. I did some research and it looks like it might be penile melanosis, but I'm not really sure. It's starting to mess with my head a bit, you know? Health-wise, everything's the same, no issues there. I've been trying Sonaderm NM, but it's not making any difference. Can you tell me what steps I should take next? It's just these two patches on top, but I'm kind of concerned.

I'm curious about Obril Cream and its effects. Does it act as a bleaching agent on pigmentation? Also, if I use it and then go out in the sun, could it possibly lead to more tanning? What if I apply it at night and then head outside the next daywould that be okay?

Kozicare cream is advised.Side-effects include itching and hypersensitivity reactions

I've been struggling with these large red acnes or allergic bumps on my forehead lately. I tried using Castor NF with ofloxacin and terbinafine clobetasol, but they haven't helped at all. The bumps are really painful to touch, and they're not just staying on my foreheadthey're spreading to other parts of my face. I'm starting to feel really frustrated as they seem to be growing more. When I use Castor NF, they shrink a little bit, but not enough to make a difference. What could be going on, and how can I get them to stop spreading?

it seems like acne vulgaris which is aggressive, no need to worry visit yuour dermatologist for appropriate approach,consume balanced diet and more fruits for a better result,personal hygiene is important.
