What are squishy, painless lumps on labia majora?
Nevertheless, the most likely cause of their appearance is benign cysts either sebaceous or epidermoid types, with them often containing fluid or tissue. This kind of cyst is usually painless and doesn’t usually require any treatment as long as they don’t cause unpleasant symptoms. However, given that they have been around for five years, you should talk to a dermatologist who will carry out a comprehensive check-up.

Is Onychomychosis Affecting My Foot Health?
Onychomycosis is a fungal infection that affects the toenails, causing them to become discolored, thickened, or brittle.

Why are pimples itching near my Virginia after period?
When pimples pop up around your intimate area and cause itching may not necessarily mean it's an STI. In fact, it could be due to a few things like irritation from products, folliculitis, or even hormonal changes. To rule out STIs, it's best to get checked by a sexologist. Meanwhile, try wearing cotton underwear, avoid harsh soaps, and keep the area dry.

How to remove underarm hair without painful bumps?
It sounds like you might be experiencing ingrown hairs after shaving your underarms. When hair curls back or grows sideways into the skin instead of upward, it can cause those painful bumps. Well, to help ease the discomfort, you can try warm compresses to soothe the area and prevent infection. Avoid shaving until it heals, and when you do shave again, make sure to use a clean razor and shave in the direction of hair growth. If the pain persists or if you notice any signs of infection, it's best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Can dark and scaly marks on the penis be from masturbation?
It seems that what you are going through may likely be hyperpigmentation from inflammation. This could be caused by constant rubbing during the time you are masturbating which can result in rough, scaly skin that will be red or pink in color. Keeping the area clean, protected, and well moisturized is important. Using a mild, scentless moisturizer is a great way to start. Whether the symptoms persist or get more severe, it's worth making an appointment with a dermatologist so they can give you proper advice.
