I've noticed these small red bumps on my scrotum and penis after trimming, and they're really itchy. I'm really worried about what might be causing this. Are these bumps something I can pass on to someone else? What should I do?

I'm trying to figure out if Uv doux silicon sunscreen gel with SPF 50 would be okay for my oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin. Do I need to put a moisturizer on before applying it, or is it alright to use directly?

I've been noticing these red spots on my tongue for almost 10 months now. At first, there weren't many, so I kind of ignored it, thinking it would heal on its own. But now, it's spread all over my tongue, and I'm getting really worried. Could you please help me figure this out and what I should do next?

I've got a patch of alopecia areata near my left ear, about the size of a 1-rupee coin, where no hair is growing. My dermatologist started me on tricort 10mg injections and gave me Morr F 5 and dicaris adults tablets. I've had the tricort injection twice now. Since I know these are steroids, I'm a bit worried about whether it's safe for me at 33 with no other health issues. Can you tell me about any long-term side effects of these treatments and if I should stick with this plan?
