I've noticed that the skin on the tip of my penis has turned red, and it hurts whenever the skin moves around. I tried using Ring Guard and some parts seemed to heal a bit, but it's not fully clearing up. Do you have any recommendations for medicine that might help with this?

I'm really concerned because the skin on my penis doesn't retract at all when I'm erect. I'm not quite sure if I'm dealing with a tight skin issue, but it's been worrying me. What could happen if I decide not to get any treatment for this?

I've been wondering about a couple of things and I'm a bit concerned. I'm 24 and I've noticed that my penis size is less than 2 cm when not erect, and about 11 cm when it is erect. Should I be worried about this? Also, when I masturbate, I usually ejaculate within one minute, and I do this about twice a week. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Penis size can vary among individuals and what you have described is within the normal range. There is no need to be concerned about the size difference. Ejaculating quickly during masturbation is a common issue known as premature ejaculation. To help with this issue, you can try using medications like Dapoxetine. Practicing techniques like the start-stop method or the squeeze technique may also be helpful.
