My dad's got these three lumps on his back, near the spine and upper back, that have popped up over the past year. They aren't causing him any pain, but I'm a bit worried about them. Should we be concerned?

As you say its painless that could be Lipoma or sebacous cyst,visit general surgeon for evaluation and appropriate management.

I've noticed a tiny white seed-like thing just under the skin on the shaft of my penis, right below the head, for about 6 months now. It's not painful, hasn't changed or grown, and I can even move it around a bit under the skin. It's a bit smaller than a sunflower seed. Lots of people seem to have asked about this but I haven't found any clear answers. What could this be and is it something that can or should be removed?

Clopivate cream for local application is advise for 7 days, if any side -effects dermatologist opinion is advised .

I'm really concerned about my underarm situation. Since I stopped waxing, there's been a little improvement in the darkness, but I'm not sure what to do next. Should I consider chemical peels or laser treatments for the best results? Hydroquinone didn't work for me. I'm just worried because my dermatologist suggested chemical peels but didnt do any tests beforehand. Can peels make the darkness worse?

chemical peeling would definitely work but laser treatment would show better result,follow your doctors advise because treatment modality depends on intensity and area involved for darkness.
