Hi everyone,
I’m incredibly anxious about multiple dark brown spots slowly multiplying on my 48-year-old dad’s balding scalp over the last 4 to 5 years.
The patches are flat and smooth, varying in size and shape—including a large, uneven central one. They don't expand rapidly, itch intensely, burn, or bleed. A few normal hair strands grow straight out of some patches, though he has general hair thinning across the center of his head.
We saw a dermatologist who didn’t seem bothered at all. He brushed it off, saying it is just seborrheic keratosis (benign age spots) and suspected follicular lichen planus (follicle inflammation). He didn't order a biopsy or any further testing.
My anxiety is still lingering because of the large, uneven shape of the central spot and the fact that hair isn't growing through every single patch.
Given the 5-year timeline, does this truly rule out skin cancer?

Please give some clarification everyone is ignoring the posts

Hi
Over the last 4 to 5 years, have had multiple flat, smooth, dark brown patches slowly multiplying across the top of head. The spots vary in size and shape—including a large, uneven central one—but the individual spots don't seem to be rapidly expanding or changing on their own. They don't itch intensely, burn, tingle, or bleed. Interestingly, a few normal hair strands are actively growing straight out of some of these dark patches, though there is general hair thinning and hairloss across the center of his scalp.

Dermatologist brushed it off by looking at and said its probably just Seborrheic keratosis
Follicular Lichen Planus

ith white discharge(please reply im terrified)

Reposting again since i forgot to tag “nsfw”
Hi everyone, I noticed a small bump on my penis a few days ago and I am feeling incredibly anxious and terrified that it might be something serious like cancer.
To describe the exact details:

Location: is on the top (dorsal) side of my mid-shaft, located beneath the foreskin. It is strictly on the shaft skin, not on the glans (head).
Appearance and Color:It looks like a small, discrete, yellowish-white raised nodule. The surrounding skin is completely normal with no redness or swelling. It is completely painless when left alone. However, when i squeeze it, and a tiny amount of thick, pasty white discharge came out.
I cannot visit a doctor right now due to personal reasons, which is making my anxiety a lot worse.

My dad (52M) has multiple black/brown spots all over his scalp that have gradually appeared over the years. They're different sizes and shapes but mostly the same color. He has **no pain, itching, bleeding, or sores**.

A dermatologist examined them with a dermatoscope about a year ago and immediately said, *"There's no treatment for this,"* and wasn't concerned.

**Could this still be melanoma or another type of skin cancer, or does this sound more like a benign condition?** I'm really anxious about it and would appreciate any opinions or similar experiences.

M20: Is my hairline receding or maturing? Opinions on temples/hairline
Body:
Posting photos of my hairline and temples. Wanted honest opinions on whether this looks normal/mature or if there are signs of recession/thinning. Also wanted to know if the finer hairs near the hairline are normal. Any feedback appreciated.

(Hair was slightly wet/damp while taking the photo, also i have dry/frizzy hair if that helps)
