I'm noticing some small pimples on my penis and I'm a bit worried about what they could be. I'm wondering if they might be Fordyce spots, but I'm not entirely sure. Should I consult a doctor about this, and if so, which type of doctor should I see?

Fordyce spots are a common condition that can appear as small, pale, red, or white bumps on the skin. If you suspect you have Fordyce spots, you can consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and confirmation. In some cases, no treatment is necessary, but if you are experiencing any discomfort or want them removed for cosmetic reasons, your dermatologist may recommend topical treatments or procedures like laser therapy.

I'm using Scarend gel for my acne scars. Do you think it's effective if I keep using it for a long time? I'm really struggling with bad acne scars and open pores. Are there any treatments you could suggest that might give up to 90% improvement?

I'm dealing with this spider pee rash that came back on my upper thigh. The first time I got it, my doctor friend told me to use Clobeng a few times a day, and luckily there wasn't any itching then, so I just went with that treatment. But now it's showing up again and causing irritation. I've started using Clobeng once more, but I'm concerned it might not go away entirely this time. How can I get rid of it for good?

Along with topical lotion you have to use oral Antifungal medications,for which visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment, personal hygiene is more important for such conditions.

I've been getting these little spots on my cheeks from pimples, and I'm not sure what the best ointment is to make them go away quickly. Also, I'm dealing with some whiteheads and would love to know if there's a good solution for both. Any advice?

For both pimple spots and whiteheads, using a combination of exfoliating acids (like salicylic acid or glycolic acid), anti-inflammatory ingredients (like niacinamide), and treatments for acne (like retinoids or benzoyl peroxide) can help significantly improve your skin over time. Always make sure to use sunscreen daily to protect your skin and prevent worsening of dark spots.
