I'm a 21-year-old male and I've noticed something weird lately. When I used to masturbate, I could really feel the sensation around my penis, but now it seems like the sensitivity has decreased and I'm not enjoying it the same way. Is this something I should be worried about? If it is, do you have any suggestions on what I can do?

educed penis sensitivity can be a concern. Here are some possible reasons and suggestions:
Possible Reasons
- Over-masturbation: Frequent masturbation can lead to desensitization.
- Poor masturbation technique: Aggressive or rough handling can cause nerve damage.
- Circumcision or foreskin issues: Circumcision, foreskin tightness, or foreskin irritation can reduce sensitivity.
- Neurological issues: Conditions like neuropathy, diabetes, or multiple sclerosis can affect nerve sensitivity.
- Psychological factors: Stress, anxiety, or performance anxiety can contribute to reduced sensitivity.
Measures to Improve Sensitivity
- Take breaks from masturbation: Give your penis time to recover and regain sensitivity.
- Practice gentle masturbation techniques: Use lubricants and gentle strokes to reduce friction and irritation.
- Forearm exercises: Strengthen your forearm muscles to improve blood flow and sensitivity.
- Sensate focus exercises: Practice mindfulness and focus on sensations during masturbation to increase awareness and sensitivity.

I'm really worried after a recent experience. I had sex with a prostitute, the condom broke, and I don't know her STD status. About a week later, I noticed genital warts. I've been using Monolox antibiotics, Flonida cream, and Supirocin ointment daily. Even though Flonida is meant to be used twice a week, I started using it daily after two weeks. Now, after three weeks, I see more swelling and redness around the opening of my penis. Could this be an STD, or maybe it's because of how the Flonida cream is affecting my skin? When I apply it, the foreskin touches the tip of my penis. I'm really anxiousis this a sign of herpes? What type of doctor should I consult?
It sounds like the swelling and redness you're experiencing could be related to the use of Flonida cream, especially if it is coming into contact with sensitive areas like the tip of your penis. However, since genital warts and other STDs can present with similar symptoms, I strongly recommend consulting a **dermatologist** or a **venereologist** (specialist in sexually transmitted diseases) for a proper diagnosis and to rule out any concerns like herpes or other infections. It's important to get a professional opinion for peace of mind.

I've been noticing these round, dark brown spots appearing on both my armpits. They don't itch, but they seem to be spreading gradually. Could you let me know what this might be and recommend any good treatments? I'm a bit concerned.
