How does Vaseline remove unwanted hair?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

View allI've noticed I've had some small, hard lumps under the skin on my hands for quite a while now. There are four of them, a bit noticeable but not really big. There's no redness or pain, but I'm a bit curious about what they might be. Could they be blood clots? Should I be concerned?

I'm having some issues with a sensitive glans on my penis and it's getting quite uncomfortable. Could you recommend any medication or treatment that might help with this? I just want to feel normal again without the constant irritation.
For sensitive glans of the penis, you can try using a topical numbing cream containing Lidocaine. Apply a thin layer of numbing agent in the form of a cream or spray on the sensitive area of the glans before intercourse.
