I've had this strange lump near my elbow on the inside of my upper left arm for a few years now. It's about 1cm across, not really visible from the outside. When I touch it, it's kind of firm, but it doesn't hurt unless I press down hard. It feels circular, and I can almost flip it upside down if I try to. Should I be worried?

I've been getting these red dots on the head of my penis after having sex or masturbating and it's starting to hurt when I try to pull back the foreskin, especially around the frenulum. The weird thing is, if I don't do anything for about 45 days, the dots go away. I went to a dermatologist who said it might be a fungal issue and gave me an antifungal cream, but it's been a month and nothing's changed. I've tested negative for HIV. Any idea what this could be and how I might treat it?

Since the anti-fungal cream prescribed by the dermatologist did not resolve the issue, it may be worth considering a different approach. I recommend trying a combination of antibiotic and steroid cream to address any possible bacterial or inflammatory component of the condition. You can apply a combination of Mupirocin ointment (2%) and Hydrocortisone cream (1%) twice daily on the affected area for 7-10 days. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, including gently washing the penis with warm water and mild soap, and ensuring proper drying of the area after bathing, can help prevent recurrence

I've been masturbating daily since I was 15, and I've noticed something odd that's got me a bit worried. When I masturbate, my penis tends to soften within about 10 seconds without me even touching it. The thing is, I can easily achieve a full erection, and I also get morning erections every two or three days. I haven't had intercourse in 12 years, so I'm not really sure how things would go when I'm with a partner. Could this be something I should be concerned about?

This could be a sign of erectile dysfunction. It is important to consult with a doctor before starting any medication to ensure it is safe for you.
