Hey, I'm a bit concerned and curious about using hair removal cream for my private areas. I'm thinking about trying the Veet men's hair removal cream for my testicles and penis. Is it safe to use for these areas? Also, how long does it usually take for the hair to grow back after using this? If there are any other creams specifically for men that you'd recommend for these sensitive areas, and which are easy to find at medical stores, that would be great to know too.

I'm worried about whether it's necessary to remove the frenulum to get my partner pregnant. I have mine intact and I really don't want to remove it. Could you give me some advice on this?

The frenulum is a small fold of mucous membrane that connects the lip to the gum. Removing it, also known as a frenectomy, is sometimes recommended for pregnant women, but it's not always necessary. Reasons for frenectomy during pregnancy: 1. Frenulum attachment: If the frenulum is too tight or attached too close to the teeth, it can cause tension on the gum and lead to recession or separation of the gum from the tooth. 2. Gum recession: Hormonal changes during pregnancy can cause gum inflammation and recession. A frenectomy might be recommended to reduce the risk of gum recession. 3. Oral hygiene: A tight frenulum can make it difficult to clean the area between the teeth and gum, leading to plaque buildup and potential oral health issues. Alternatives to frenectomy: If you're not comfortable with the idea of removing your frenulum, discuss the following alternatives with your dentist or healthcare provider: 1. Improved oral hygiene: Maintain good oral hygiene habits, such as regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. 2. Gum massage: Gently massage your gums to improve blood flow and reduce tension.

I'm dealing with ringworm on and off for the last 6 months and I'm really getting frustrated. I've tried loads of medicines and it sometimes improves, but then it comes back again. It all started when I had a longer-than-usual period, and now every month around that time, it flares up again. I did see a dermatologist, and their treatment almost cleared it up, but when my period hits, it pops back up, and now it seems to be spreading more. Do you have any advice on what's going on or what I should do?
