I'm really worried because I used Melacare cream about three years ago, and now my skin seems to have gotten darker. I've attached a photo for reference. Can you suggest any remedies or treatments that might help with this?

I've had this dry whitish patch on the shaft of my penis for about six months now, and it's got me a bit worried. The skin on that patch is kinda wrinkly, and when I wet it with water or oil, it appears to go back to normal, but it still seems a bit lighter than the rest of the skin. Should I be concerned about this? What might be causing it, and is there anything I can do to treat or improve it?

The symptoms you described, including a dry, whitish patch with wrinkly skin on the penis shaft that normalizes with moisture, could be indicative of vitiligo, eczema, or lichen sclerosus; consult a dermatologist

I've been noticing this red and black spot on my right breast for a couple of days now, and there's like this light redness around it. It's really hurting whenever I touch it, and it feels kinda uncomfortable around my right underarm. I'm worried about what it might be. Any idea what could be going on?
