I'm a bit worried about my recent urinalysis results. Everything seems normal except for the RBC and hemoglobin levels. A few years back, I had some issues with sand and crystals in my urine. Should I be concerned about the RBC levels? Is this harmful, or could it be related to my previous issues?

Every time I have sex with my wife, I end up with cuts on my foreskin. It's the same problem after I masturbate too. It's really painful, and the itching while they heal is driving me crazy. Could you recommend a cream or ointment that'll help with this?

You may be experiencing some irritation or friction during sexual activity leading to cuts on your foreskin. I recommend using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin. Apply a thin layer of the ointment on the cuts twice a day after gently cleaning the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, you can also use a soothing cream like Aloe Vera gel to help with the healing process and reduce itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.

I'm dealing with herpes, and my doctor confirmed it's affecting my penis. A couple of months ago, I had Bell's palsy. I'm worriedcan herpes come back, and which type might this be? Can anyone provide some guidance?

It sounds like you're dealing with a couple of challenging conditions. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) can cause outbreaks in various areas, including the genital region. As for Bell's palsy, while it's typically a one-time occurrence, some people may experience it again, but the risk is low. I recommend following your doctor's guidance on managing both conditions and staying informed about any recurrence signs.
