I'm having a penile infection that's been troubling me for the past 20 days. I've tried applying a few creams, but nothing seems to be working. What could be causing this, and is there something more effective I should try?

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I'm really worried because my girlfriend says she wants me to have a 10-inch penis, but currently, it's only 5 inches. I'm concerned about her breaking up with me over this. Is there anything I can do to make it larger? Are there safe methods or treatments to consider? What are my options here?
It's important to focus on healthy communication and mutual respect in your relationship. Penis size does not determine the success of a relationship, and it's essential to address any concerns openly with your partner. If you're feeling stressed or uncertain, speaking with a healthcare professional or counselor could provide helpful guidance.
