I've noticed these small white bumps appearing on the bottom part of my penis shaft for a while now, and recently there seem to be more. They're now covering most of the base and the underside of my shaft. Can anyone tell me what these might be and suggest any possible treatments? I'm really curious and a bit worried about it.

You may be experiencing Fordyce spots, which are small, harmless spots that can appear on the penis. These spots are usually sebaceous glands and are considered a normal variation. There is no need for treatment as they are benign. However, if you are concerned or experiencing any discomfort, you can consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and reassurance.

I've noticed these brown scars under both of my arms for over two months now. I'm 42 and they don't itch or hurt, but I'm wondering what might be going on. Should I be worried about these scars?

You may be dealing with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can occur after skin trauma or inflammation. To help lighten the brown scars, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream, twice daily on the affected areas. Additionally, applying sunscreen with a high SPF daily can prevent further darkening of the scars. If the scars do not improve with these measures, you may consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.
