I'm really worried about this S aureus balanitis thing. I have these bowel issues and some impetigo on my foreskin, and it's been treated but I'm still in a lot of pain all over my body. Can you tell me if this is normal or if there's anything else I should be doing?

You can use a combination of topical mupirocin ointment applied to the affected area three times daily and oral antibiotics such as cephalexin 500mg four times a day for 7-10 days. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry. For impetigo on the foreskin, you can also use mupirocin ointment. For body pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

I've been having some weird experiences at night. A few days ago, I just woke up out of nowhere feeling like I couldn't catch my breath. It's not like anything I could control, you know? Plus, I've noticed that I'm needing to get up and pee a lot during the night, and sometimes my back starts to hurt. Do you think all these things could be connected or something?

it might be due to anxiety,reduce your stress

I've noticed that I haven't had any wet dreams for about 10 or 11 months, and I haven't masturbated or had any other kind of release for the same amount of time. Is it unhealthy if I don't ejaculate at all for this long?
