Question 1

I've been struggling with ringworm for a while now and it just won't clear up. I've already tried a bunch of ointments like Fourderm, Ring Guard, Itch Guard, and Dermi 5, but nothing seems to work. Do you have any recommendations for something more effective?

*Oral Medications*

Question 2

I've noticed that every time I masturbate, I break out with about a dozen new pimples on my face. Could there be a link between masturbation and acne? If so, what can I do about it since I know masturbation is a natural part of life?

Accepted Answer

Normal.

Question 3

I've been having this issue for the past six months where I notice some white patches on the glans of my penis, which come off easily after washing. Theres also a small red spot inside the foreskin with some light itching. I got a VDRL test done and it came back negative. I've been using zoster ointment, but I'm a bit worried. Whenever I have physical relations, sometimes the glans gets a bit red, and the foreskin seems to shrink and tighten. Should I be concerned about this, and is there anything else I should be doing or looking into?
