I'm noticing these kind of spots on my foreskin and glans area, and I'm a bit worried. They don't itch or bother me, but I can't help but wonder if they're something serious. I've seen a dermatologist who mentioned they might be fordyce spots. Could these spots appear on the glans as well? Just trying to figure out if it's normal or if I should be more concerned.

I'm dealing with this issue where my palm is getting darker, and a dermatologist mentioned it's hyperpigmentation. I've already tried medications from two different specialists, but it hasnt helped at all. I used to stay up really late for about 6-7 years, around 12 years ago. Im also a vegan. Could any of these be related to whats going on with my skin? I'm really curious about what else I can do to sort this out.

Hyperpigmentation of palms occur because of various causes like deficiency of vitamin B12, Addison's disease , malabsorption syndrome etc. So you need some investigation to exclude these conditions. Meet a dermatologist. Start vitaminB12 supplements.
