I've just used Veet hair removal cream around my anus and immediately after washing it off with aloe vera soap, I felt a burning sensation. Now I've got these rashes and red itchy bumps. I'm really worried about it. How can I clear this up?

You are experiencing an allergic reaction to the hair removal cream. To help clear the rash and itching, you can try using a mild hydrocortisone cream like Cortaid. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day. Additionally, you can take an oral antihistamine like Benadryl to help with the itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid using any harsh soaps or products on the affected area. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I've got this thing going on where I have symptoms that seem like a lipoma on my head. It's been there for about three years, and it's slowly been getting bigger. It also tends to hurt, especially when I'm stressed. I'm really curious about what might be causing this and what options I have for dealing with it. Where should I go first to get some answers or treatment for this?

I'm really concerned because I feel like my penis is smaller than it should be, and I also ejaculate too quickly. Can you give me some advice on how to increase the size of my penis and help with premature ejaculation? I'm really looking for any guidance or solutions you might have.

I understand that you're concerned about the size of your penis and premature ejaculation. Here are some suggestions that may help: Penis Size 1. Avoid unrealistic expectations: Penis size is largely determined by genetics, and there's no guaranteed way to significantly increase size. 2. Focus on penis health: Maintain good penis health by practicing safe sex, exercising regularly, and managing stress. 3. Consider counseling: If penis size is affecting your self-esteem or relationships, consider seeking counseling from a mental health professional. Premature Ejaculation 1. Practice relaxation techniques: Stress and anxiety can contribute to premature ejaculation. Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga. 2. Exercise regularly: Regular exercise can help improve sexual performance and reduce stress. 3. Try the "stop-start" technique: This technique involves stopping sexual activity before ejaculation, waiting for a few seconds, and then resuming. 4. Consider seeking professional help: If premature ejaculation persists, consider seeking help from a urologist, sex therapist, or counselor. Additional Tips 1. Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep. 2. Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption: Both can negatively impact sexual health. 3. Practice safe sex: Use condoms to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections.

Can using Vaseline help with my Perioral Dermatitis? I think it might've started because I was using a topical steroid cream to lighten my skin. What should I do about this?

Using Vaseline may not be the most effective treatment for Perioral Dermatitis. Instead, you can try using a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil or Aveeno to soothe the affected area. To treat Perioral Dermatitis caused by topical steroid cream, your doctor may prescribe a mild topical steroid like hydrocortisone cream for a short period of time. It is important to avoid using any steroid creams without medical supervision, as they can worsen the condition if not used correctly.
