I've been dealing with balanitis on my penis and it's been a real hassle. I try to keep the inside skin clean, but it keeps coming back. What's the best cream or treatment I can use to finally get some relief?

View allI'm feeling really worried about some health issues I'm experiencing. I've tested positive for HSV 1 IgG at 3.9, but my HSV 1 IgM is negative. I had unprotected sex about a year ago and my HIV test has come back negative since then. However, I've been dealing with a burning sensation on my penis and there's also pimples on the glans that aren't water-filled. I'm also experiencing a burning sensation on my tongue. I haven't started any treatment for HSV yet and I'm really concerned because I read online that not treating HSV could possibly lead to HIV in the future. I'm unmarried and this has me wondering if it's safe for me to get married in the future. Lastly, I had a liver sonography that revealed a grade 1 fatty liver about a month ago. Is this related to the HSV? What should I be doing now? I'm really in need of some guidance.

I'm a bit concerned because my penis is 13.5 cm, and I'm wondering if that's considered small. Sometimes I feel like I need to masturbate to avoid the constant urge for an erection. Could this be a problem?
A penis size of 13.5 cm is within the normal range, and there's no cause for concern. Masturbation can be a natural outlet for sexual urges, but if you feel discomfort or pressure to engage in it, it's important to address any underlying concerns and maintain a balanced approach to your sexual health. If you ever feel unsure or anxious about your body, it might help to talk to a healthcare provider.

I've been dealing with kidney stones and got prescribed antibiotics, codeine, and paracetamol. It's been 5 days, and I still haven't had a bowel movement. Is it alright if I take something like senokot to help with this? I'm a bit worried about this situation.
Topical Treatments* 1. *Steroid creams*: Apply topical steroid creams (e.g., betamethasone or triamcinolone) to reduce inflammation and promote skin elasticity. 2. *Vitamin E oil*: Massage vitamin E oil into the affected area to promote skin health and elasticity. 3. *Tea tree oil*: Apply diluted tea tree oil (3-5%) to help reduce inflammation and prevent infection. *Pharmaconutritional Treatments* 1. *Vitamin D supplements*: Ensure adequate vitamin D levels, as deficiencies can contribute to phimosis. 2. *Omega-3 fatty acids*: Consume omega-3 rich foods or supplements to reduce inflammation and promote skin health. *Additional Recommendations* 1. *Gentle manual stretching*: Continue gentle manual stretching of the foreskin, ideally with a lubricant, to promote elasticity and retractability. 2. *Warm baths*: Regular warm baths can help relax the skin and promote retractability. 3. *Consult a healthcare professional*: Schedule regular follow-ups with a healthcare professional to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed. *Important Notes* 1. *Circumcision may be necessary*: If phimosis persists or worsens, circumcision may be required to prevent complications. 2. *Infection risk*: Monitor for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge, and seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen.
