I've been dealing with this issue and could really use some guidance. In my younger days, I masturbated a lot, often without lubricant or sometimes using soap. Now, the head of my penis is really dry, and if I dont put on moisturizer twice a day, it ends up burning a lot. What can I do about this? Is there something else I should be using or looking into?

I'm dealing with an infection on my penis, and there's noticeable redness. I've already seen a dermatologist who advised me to take 500 mg of valacyclovir twice a day and use Fusidic Acid cream, but I've been on this treatment for a week now and I still don't see any improvement. Can you help me understand what kind of infection this could be and if there's anything else I should be doing? I'm getting quite concerned.

I'm really troubled by nightfall and it's been going on for 10 years now. I've tried various Ayurvedic and Unani medicines, but nothing seems to work. Can you help me understand why this is happening and what I can do to cure it?

Nightfall is a normal function of the body. It is the body's way of discharging the semen which gets collected. Don't fall into a trap by going for different types of treatments and waste your money. It is a natural process of the body and no medicine is required for it.
