I'm really concerned about these pearly penile papules I've got they're white spots on the glans of my penis. I've never been sexually active and I'm still a virgin, so I'm not sure where they came from. What can I do to get rid of them, aside from using castor oil and tea tree oil?

View allI've been living near Darjeeling, and just recently, I returned from a short trip to my hometown Nashik. Since coming back, I've noticed these dark patches around my waist and underarms. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is characterized by dark, velvety patches of skin. This can be caused by various factors such as obesity, insulin resistance, hormonal disorders, or certain medications. To help improve this condition, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, retinoids, or azelaic acid to lighten the dark patches. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise can also be beneficial. I recommend using a cream like Melalite Forte cream twice daily on the affected areas for 8-12 weeks. Make sure to apply a thin layer and avoid sun exposure on the treated areas. If the dark patches persist or worsen, it is best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a 22-year-old woman dealing with acanthosis nigricans and excess weight. I know losing weight will help fade the pigmentation, but I have important events coming up in a month and need a faster solution. Are there any effective bleaching creams, gels, or laser treatments that could quickly reduce the dark patches? It's really affecting my confidence.
For a quicker solution to acanthosis nigricans (AN) within a month, consider a combination of topical treatments and cosmetic procedures, along with maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Topical creams containing ingredients like retinoids, hydroquinone, or salicylic acid can help lighten the skin and improve texture. Chemical peels or laser therapy can also be used to improve the appearance of the dark patches. However, remember that weight loss and managing underlying causes are crucial for long-term improvement

I'm trying to decide between Opexa gel and Mederma for scar removal and I'm wondering which one works better. Can you also recommend a good cream specifically for acne scars?
