So, I've got this pimple-like boil on the shaft of my penis. I tried squeezing it, and some pus came out, but it's still there a week later, and it hurts when I press it. What should I do about it?

I'm really worried because I've been using clove oil on my gums for about 23 days now since they seemed to be receding, but I've noticed my lips are turning dark and the corners of my mouth are even darker. When I tried rubbing the skin there, it actually peeled off like a burn would. I've put some curd on it for a cooling effect, hoping it would help, but I don't know what else I should do. Can you suggest any quick remedies to fix this?
The fluid leakage from your anus, accompanied by initial pain and subsequent discharge without pain, can be caused by several factors. Here are some possible explanations: *Possible Causes* 1. *Anal fistula*: A small tunnel or tube that connects the inside of the anus to the skin around it, causing fluid discharge. 2. *Anal abscess*: A collection of pus in the tissue around the anus, which can drain and cause fluid leakage. 3. *Proctitis*: Inflammation of the rectum, which can cause fluid discharge. 4. *Gastrointestinal infection*: Infections like giardiasis or amoebiasis can cause fluid leakage from the anus. *Recommendations* 1. *Consult a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a gastroenterologist to discuss your symptoms. 2. *Physical examination*: Your doctor will perform a physical examination, including a digital rectal examination, to check for any abnormalities. 3. *Diagnostic tests*: Your doctor may recommend tests like: - Stool tests to check for infections - Imaging studies (e.g., CT scan, MRI) to visualize the anus and rectum - Anoscopy or sigmoidoscopy to examine the inside of the anus and rectum 4. *Treatment*: Based on the diagnosis, your doctor will recommend treatment, which may include antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, or surgical intervention. *When to Seek Immediate Attention* 1. *Severe pain*: If you experience severe pain or discomfort in the anal or rectal area. 2. *Fever*: If you have a fever above 101.5F (38.6C). 3. *Blood in stool*: If you notice blood in your stool or black tarry stools. 4. *Difficulty controlling bowel movements*: If you experience involuntary bowel movements or difficulty controlling stool.

I've just gotten over a bout of chickenpox and it seems like I'm all cured now after about 15 days. I'm wondering how long I should wait before it's safe to have sex with my wife. What do you think?
yes you can do because Chickenpox is contagious for one to two days before the appearance of the rash and until the blisters have dried and become scabs.
