I'm experiencing this really frustrating full body itching that has turned into black marks. I saw a doctor, and they mentioned it might be because of dry skin. I've tried using lotion, ointments, and even tablets, but they only seem to help while I'm using them. As soon as I finish the course, the itching comes back. Can you help me understand what's going on or suggest something that might work better?

I'm really concerned because I feel like my penis is smaller than it should be, and I also ejaculate too quickly. Can you give me some advice on how to increase the size of my penis and help with premature ejaculation? I'm really looking for any guidance or solutions you might have.

I understand that you're concerned about the size of your penis and premature ejaculation. Here are some suggestions that may help: Penis Size 1. Avoid unrealistic expectations: Penis size is largely determined by genetics, and there's no guaranteed way to significantly increase size. 2. Focus on penis health: Maintain good penis health by practicing safe sex, exercising regularly, and managing stress. 3. Consider counseling: If penis size is affecting your self-esteem or relationships, consider seeking counseling from a mental health professional. Premature Ejaculation 1. Practice relaxation techniques: Stress and anxiety can contribute to premature ejaculation. Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga. 2. Exercise regularly: Regular exercise can help improve sexual performance and reduce stress. 3. Try the "stop-start" technique: This technique involves stopping sexual activity before ejaculation, waiting for a few seconds, and then resuming. 4. Consider seeking professional help: If premature ejaculation persists, consider seeking help from a urologist, sex therapist, or counselor. Additional Tips 1. Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep. 2. Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption: Both can negatively impact sexual health. 3. Practice safe sex: Use condoms to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections.

I'm planning my wedding and the stress of acne is really getting to me. The doctor prescribed me Deriva CMS gel for my acne, but I'm really worried it might make things worse before they get better, especially with my big day coming up. Does this gel really cause acne to increase at the start? Im just so confused about whether I should start using it now. Any advice would be massively helpful.

Deriva CMS gel is a topical retinoid treatment that contains adapalene, which can help reduce acne. Initial Breakout or Purge: Yes, it's common for Deriva CMS gel to cause an initial breakout or "purge" phase, especially during the first 2-4 weeks of treatment. This can manifest as: 1. Increased redness and inflammation 2. More noticeable acne lesions 3. Skin sensitivity or irritation This initial breakout is usually a sign that the treatment is working, as it pushes underlying blockages and bacteria to the surface. Pre-Wedding Concerns: Given your upcoming wedding, it's understandable that you're concerned about the potential initial breakout. However, it's essential to remember that: 1. The initial breakout is usually temporary and subsides within a few weeks. 2. Deriva CMS gel can help improve your skin's appearance and reduce acne in the long run.
