Question 1

I've noticed some tiny red dots, kind of like pimples, on the head of my penis. They itch a little bit. I'm 23 and have never been sexually active, so I'm pretty worried about what this could be. Any idea what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Taking 8 ibuprofen tablets in a short span can lead to overdose and serious health complications.

Seek immediate medical attention at the nearest emergency room or call the national poison control center.

Symptoms like sharp jabbing pain in your ribs and hip soreness require prompt evaluation.

Ibuprofen overdose can cause stomach ulcers, bleeding, and kidney damage.

Do not delay seeking medical help, as timely treatment is crucial.

Please prioritize your health and seek immediate attention.

Question 2

I'm really worried about how frequently I've been masturbating and if that's a reason I ended up with candidal balanoposthitis. Do you think cutting back on masturbation could help fix this problem?

Accepted Answer

Masturbation itself is unlikely to directly cause candidal balanoposthitis. However, excessive masturbation can contribute to the development of this condition indirectly:

_Friction and irritation_: Frequent masturbation can cause friction, leading to irritation and micro-tears in the skin. This can create an environment conducive to Candida overgrowth.

_Moisture accumulation_: Masturbation can lead to increased moisture in the genital area, which can contribute to Candida growth.

_Imbalanced skin pH_: Frequent masturbation can disrupt the natural skin pH, creating an environment that fosters Candida growth.

Limiting masturbation may help alleviate some contributing factors, but it is unlikely to cure candidal balanoposthitis on its own. Treatment typically involves:

_Antifungal medications_: Topical or oral antifungals to address the Candida infection.
_Good genital hygiene_: Keeping the area clean and dry.
_Avoiding irritants_: Reducing friction and avoiding harsh soaps or products.

Question 3

I'm really confused about something. Every time I drink alcohol or eat non-veg food, the area with my fungal infection gets super itchy and red. My doctor said alcohol isnt the cause, but I've heard from people that it might mean there's something wrong with my liver. Could that be true? What should I do about it?
