View allI've been experiencing this sharp pain right at the tip of my penis for about three days now, and it's really concerning me. Does this sound like something serious, or could it be something that will go away on its own? I'm a bit worried and would love some advice on what might be causing this pain.
-It sounds like you may have a localized issue, possibly an irritation or infection. I'd recommend seeing a doctor for a proper exam to rule out any serious conditions and to get appropriate treatment. In the meantime, avoid any harsh soaps or irritants.

I've been having this issue for the past six months where I notice some white patches on the glans of my penis, which come off easily after washing. Theres also a small red spot inside the foreskin with some light itching. I got a VDRL test done and it came back negative. I've been using zoster ointment, but I'm a bit worried. Whenever I have physical relations, sometimes the glans gets a bit red, and the foreskin seems to shrink and tighten. Should I be concerned about this, and is there anything else I should be doing or looking into?
Probable diagnosis is fungal infection. Candid cream for local application is advised for 2 weeks, along with tab levocetrizine 10 mg orally,daily for 5 days is advised to the patient.

I'm curious about the cost of getting a Q-switch laser treatment for naturally dark lips due to genetics. Also, how long do the effects typically last after the procedure?
Depending on the extent of treatment required, it costs between 7k - 15k INR. The number of sessions required varies from patient to patient. The effects generally last a few years, but maintenance sessions may be required to sustain the results.
