I've recently started having sex without using a condom, and I've noticed that my frenulum is bleeding. Is this something that's common, or should I be concerned?

It is not uncommon for the frenulum to tear or bleed during vigorous sexual activity, especially without the use of lubrication. To help with the healing process and prevent infection, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day and keep the area clean. It is also recommended to abstain from sexual activity until the area has fully healed to prevent further injury.

I'm 19 and dealing with scrotal calcinosis there are about 34 medium-sized cysts and a few new ones starting to form. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? I'm really worried about it getting worse.

While scrotal calcinosis is a condition that may require surgery for definitive treatment, especially when cosmetic concerns arise, there are some alternative approaches that may be considered before surgery. These include observation, laser therapy, and cryotherapy, depending on the severity and location of the calcinosis.
