View allI'm really worried about something that's been happening and I hope you can help me out. I had protected sex a while back and noticed the condom had slipped a bit. A few days later, I found small bumps on my penis and went to a dermatologist who said it's molluscum contagiosum. They suggested I get a blood test after six weeks to check for things like HIV. I did the tests and thankfully they all came back non-reactive. I've been using the imiquad solution and the bumps seem to be shrinking, which is a relief, but now I'm dealing with penile discharge whenever I pass stool. Do you know what might be causing this or what I should do?
Its good to hear that your molluscum is improving with treatment. However, penile discharge during bowel movements may indicate an underlying issue, such as urethritis or infection. It would be best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to rule out any additional concerns.

Im a 21-year-old guy and I've been feeling a bit worried about my penis size. At my age and considering my height, which is 6 feet 1 inch, I can't help but feel like maybe it's smaller than it should be compared to others. Is there something I can do to improve it?
Stress and HIV can both cause rashes, but they have distinct characteristics. HIV rashes are often: Severe and widespread Associated with fever, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes Typically appear within 2-4 weeks after exposure Stress rashes, like yours, are often: Itchy and red Localized to specific areas Triggered by stress, anxiety, or emotional changes Given your recent stress and normal blood test results, it's more likely that your rash is stress-related.

I've noticed that I haven't had any wet dreams for about 10 or 11 months, and I haven't masturbated or had any other kind of release for the same amount of time. Is it unhealthy if I don't ejaculate at all for this long?
