I've been having some issues with my penile foreskinits really dry and cracked lately, and it hurts whenever I try to pull it up. A few days ago, I noticed red spots on the head of my penis, and it was really itchy. I tried using Dettol and warm water, which helped for a bit, but it's not a permanent fix. What might be causing this, and what should I do?

I'm dealing with erectile dysfunction and was wondering if it's okay to take Tadact 10 mg every day. How should I be taking it, or is there another medication you recommend? I don't have any other health issues.

Tadact 10 mg is a brand name for Tadalafil, which is commonly used for erectile dysfunction. You can take Tadact 10 mg as needed, approximately 30 minutes before sexual activity. Alternatively, you can also consider taking Viagra (Sildenafil) or Levitra (Vardenafil) as alternative medicines for ED. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
