I'm feeling pretty anxious right now and I need some advice. So, during sexual activity, the penis didn't actually go into the vagina but was rubbing around the opening a few times, and there was no protection used. I'm just really worried about the possibility of pregnancy from this. Can you help clarify whether this could actually happen?

Is it okay to use saliva as a lubricant during sex or masturbation? I'm just wondering if there are any health concerns or risks I should be aware of.

I'm just over 7 weeks pregnant and noticed a little brown discharge on my panty liner today. I had an ultrasound last week and everything seemed fine, with a heartbeat of 140. It's my first pregnancy, and I don't have any medical history. Is this discharge normal, or should I be worried?

De-tanning can be challenging, but there are methods to help reduce tan appearance: Topical creams: Hydroquinone, kojic acid, or retinoid-based creams can help lighten skin tone. Chemical peels: Glycolic acid or lactic acid peels can exfoliate and brighten the skin. Microdermabrasion: A non-invasive exfoliating treatment to remove dead skin cells. Laser skin toning: Targets melanin to reduce tan appearance. Sun protection: Continue using high SPF sunscreen and protective clothing to prevent further tanning. Consult a dermatologist to determine the best approach for your skin type and tone.

I've been having this white, thick vaginal discharge, and sometimes it looks like cottage cheese. It's been really itchy, and my clitoris hurts a lot. I've been dealing with this for about five months now. Even though I've taken medication, nothing seems to work. What could be causing this, and how can I actually get rid of it?
