I'm dealing with infections in my groin area, and the doctor suggested using t bac 2 ointment. Is it safe to use this on my penis as well? The skin there has turned dark, shrunk, and the foreskin is tight and not moving back easily. I'm a bit worried about this, could you advise?

It's important to follow your doctor's advice, as the T Bac 2% ointment is typically used for skin infections. Applying it on the penis should be done cautiously, especially if you're experiencing tightness and discoloration. If the skin is shrinking or becoming overly tight, I recommend consulting your doctor for a specific evaluation and tailored treatment plan.

I've been on Total Nano Leo for a week now, and I'm having this weird itching and burning around my outer anal area. Could the powder be causing this? What's up with that?

Could be due to a possible allergic reaction or irritation. I recommend stopping the powder and consulting a doctor. You can try using a topical cream like Preparation H to relieve the itching and burning sensation. Apply a small amount externally around the anal area twice a day for relief.

I had some fish earlier and then drank buttermilk about an hour later. Now, my dad mentioned that combining the two might lead to skin issues. I'm kind of worried since I already had the buttermilk. Is there something I can do to prevent any skin problems, or is there anything I should be on the lookout for?

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that simultaneous intake of milk and fish is harmful to the body or skin in any way.

I've been having some trouble with being able to push my penis in her vagina easily. I've been wondering if using a lubricant before we have sex could help? Is that a good idea or is there something else I should be considering? I'm a bit worried and would really appreciate your advice on this.

yes.
