Face wash with either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide may help in removing dead skin cells which clogs the pores leading to acne. Either of them may help only in mild grade of acne. You can choose face wash with salicylic acid if you have blackheads, whiteheads and comedones and face wash with benzoyl peroxide if you have pus filled pimples.

I've noticed these pink bumps or genital warts on the glans of my penis for about 16 years now. I suspect it might be HPV, but Ive never had any tests or diagnosis done. They dont cause any health problems and haven't really changed in number, maybe just a tiny increase over the years. I haven't had any treatment yet. What do you think I should do about this?
