I'm feeling really worried about these pearly penile papules and I'm looking for some advice. Are there any home remedies or treatments you can suggest? Also, do I need any specific medicine to get rid of them?

Pearly penile papules (PPP) are harmless, but for aesthetic concerns, consider consulting a dermatologist for professional advice; some home remedies like tea tree oil, castor oil, and aloe vera gel may help reduce inflammation, but there's limited scientific evidence for their effectiveness; medical treatments like carbon dioxide laser therapy, cryotherapy, or radiosurgery may be recommended by a dermatologist, but over-the-counter (OTC) medicines are not typically advised for PPP removal.

I've been masturbating every day for the past three months and I'm worried if this could have any harmful effects or cause problems in the future. Can you give me some advice on whether this is something to be concerned about?

Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality. Masturbating once a day for 3 months is unlikely to cause harm. However, consider: - _Overstimulation_: Frequent masturbation can lead to temporary desensitization or discomfort. - _Skin irritation_: Aggressive or rough masturbation can cause skin irritation or injury. - _Impact on relationships_: Excessive masturbation might affect your relationships or daily life. No significant long-term problems are expected. If you're concerned, consult a healthcare provider or a sexologist for personalized advice.

I've been using sofradex cream on my face for the past 15 years because my skin is really oily and I wanted to get rid of pimples. Now, I can't find the cream anywhere, and my face has started to get dry and itchy. The skin around my eyelids is drying out too, and I'm noticing wrinkles forming. I always applied the cream at night, and I'm worried about what to do next. Any advice on how to handle this situation?
