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.

View allI just drank milk mixed with onions by mistake, and I'm really worried now. Is there any chance that this could lead to vitiligo? Also, while we're at it, does vitiligo have any treatment options that actually work?
Accidentally drinking milk with onions will not cause vitiligo on your skin. Vitiligo is a skin condition where patches of skin lose their pigment. There is no known cure for vitiligo, but treatment options such as topical corticosteroids, phototherapy, and skin grafting may help improve the appearance of the skin. If you suspect you have vitiligo, it is best to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with this moderate acne issue for a while now because of my PCOS. I'm taking OCs and everything seemed to be under control, but now it's flaring up again. My doctor put me on Isotretinoin 10mg daily for a month and also suggested I use topical tretinoin 0.025mg once a day. Is it okay to use these two treatments together or should I be cautious about using them at the same time?
Yes you can use it no problem,follow your doctors advice

I've been using aloe vera on my face and now it's burning with rashes and redness showing up. I've got an event in two days, so I'm really hoping for a quick fix. Any advice on how to recover fast?
To quickly recover from the adverse reaction to aloe vera, try these remedies: immediately wash your face with cold water and a mild soap, apply a cool, wet compress or an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to reduce burning and redness, use a topical hydrocortisone cream (0.5-1%) to calm the skin, take an oral antihistamine like diphenhydramine to reduce itching and inflammation, and apply a soothing moisturizer, like coconut oil or aloe vera-free lotion, to help calm the skin; for faster recover
