I've noticed tiny black specks or dots on my skin over the last three weeks, even after I wipe. They're really small but keep appearing. Should I be worried about this?

View allI'm really worried because I've noticed some redness and warts on the skin of my penis. I think it might be a staph infection, but I'm not entirely sure. Could you please guide me on what kind of doctor I should see for this?
For a staph infection and skin lesions on the penis, consult a dermatologist or a urologist, specifically one specializing in genitourinary medicine, who can assess the condition, provide a proper diagnosis, and recommend effective treatment options, such as antibiotics, antiviral medications, or topical creams, to address the infection and skin lesions

I'm not sure what's going on, but every now and then I get this weird greasy warm feeling on my lips. They feel dry and normal when I touch them, but when I lick them, they taste just like grease. It's the strangest thing, and I've tried telling my doctors about it, but they just look at me like I'm crazy. It doesn't happen all the time; it just comes out of nowhereeven while I'm just watching TV or something. And it's not even my whole lipusually just a small part. Any idea what this could be?

I've been dealing with genital warts for about a year now and have tried various treatments including seeing a doctor and using home remedies like garlic and ginger. I keep removing them, but they come back after a few weeks or months. Is this something Ill have to deal with permanently? Could the warts spread to other parts of my body?
Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and can be persistent. While there is no permanent cure for HPV, there are treatments available to manage the symptoms. One effective medication for genital warts is "Aldara cream," which contains imiquimod. You can apply a thin layer of Aldara cream on the warts before bedtime, three times a week for up to 16 weeks. This can help reduce the size and spread of the warts. It is important to note that genital warts can spread to other parts of the body through skin-to-skin contact, so it is essential to take precautions to prevent transmission. Additionally, practicing safe sex and maintaining good hygiene can help reduce the risk of spreading the virus. If you have concerns about the spread of warts on your body, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
