I had a sore on my lip that never fully healed and has now formed a white spot over the area. It's been 4 months and I've tried Valtrex without success. I've seen a dermatologist who said it was nothing to worry about, but it hasn't healed since May. The issue began with a cold sore. What should I do?

Is my hairline receding, or is it just a maturing hairline? My hair has been falling out more than usual, and my hairline seems higher up on both sides with a lot of baby hairs when I don't style it. I'm 19 years old, male, and my dad is bald.

My daughter has noticed a lump on her back that is not painful and moves when pushed. She just noticed it and has not seen a doctor yet. She is 28 years old, in good health, and had a small benign lump removed from her breast when she was younger. She was also in a car accident 9 months ago and has had lower back pain since then. What could the lump be and is it related to her back pain?

I had an allergic reaction to benzoyl peroxide on my inner thigh. I've been applying Lotrimin for a week, but now I have dry, chapped foreskin and swelling that feels hot when retracted. I don't have pain during urination, burning sensation on the penis head, or discharge. Could this be related to the benzoyl peroxide allergy, and how can I treat it?
