I've been dealing with this ongoing issue where the foreskin on my penis gets really tender and then cracks. This seems to happen quite oftenit heals and then just cracks again. I'm getting a bit worried about it. What could be causing this, and how can I prevent it from continuing?

You may be experiencing a condition called balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 2 weeks to treat any possible fungal infection. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding harsh soaps or irritants can help prevent further cracking. If the symptoms persist, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Hey, I'm really trying to shake off this habit of excessive masturbation. I'm worried it might be messing with my body and nerves because I feel super nervous and can't face anyone.

I was trimming the hair on my testicle, and I accidentally cut my right testis, which started bleeding immediately. I used turmeric powder, and the bleeding stopped, and there's no pain now. I'm just worried if this might cause any problems later on. Could you let me know if there's anything I should watch out for or do to prevent any future issues?

Question

I've been struggling with premature ejaculation and it's causing a lot of stress and anxiety in my relationship. I've heard about lycopodium 1mg and I'm wondering if it actually helps with this issue. Also, can it address erectile dysfunction and the feelings of being overly excited or anxious during intimate moments? Its getting pretty frustrating and I'd really appreciate any advice.
