I'm a bit worried because I've noticed a painless lump on the skin of my penis. It's skin-colored and doesn't itch or hurt, but I'm concerned. What could this be? Should I be checking for anything else or think about seeing someone for it?

I'm a 24-year-old who's really anxious about my sex life, and I've been taking Himalaya Confido tablets without any prescription. I'm worried about whether this is safe or if it could have any bad effects on my health. What's your advice?

I've had tight foreskin since I was a kid and thought it would loosen over time if I kept pulling it back, but now I'm 25 and it's still really tight. There's only about a 34mm opening to pee through, and I get this white stuff building up that causes itching. I'm worried surgery might remove the whole foreskin are there other options that can fix this without taking it all off?

Yes, there are non-surgical options to address phimosis (tight foreskin) in addition to circumcision. You can try stretching exercises, using topical steroid creams, and practicing good hygiene to potentially loosen the foreskin and alleviate the symptoms you've described. If those methods are not effective, there are also surgical options that can address the problem without necessarily removing the entire foreskin
