I've been noticing some itching at the tip of my penis recently, and it started happening after I got a handjob at a massage parlour. It's been about a week now, and while the itching has reduced to occurring just once a day, I'm a bit worried. Could this be herpes or maybe just a reaction to the lubricant that was used? What should I do next?

I've had this issue for about 20 days now. It started with a light bluish discoloration on my glans, and then turned whitish. Sometimes there's a mild burning sensation over the glans too. Usually, its pink in color. What could be going on? Should I be worried about this change?

I'm a bit worried because the foreskin of my penis used to be attached to the tip, but now it's come down and the head is exposed. It's super sensitive to touch, and I'd really appreciate some advice on how to make it less sensitive. Also, the foreskin isn't going back to the tip. I'm not sure why this is happening, and any help on both these issues would be great.

I'm really worried about how I can remove the front skin of my penis. It's quite small when it's not erect, but during an erection, it gets thicker and longer. Could you guide me on this?
