I've been dealing with phimosis, and recently started using Betnovate cream. Now, I'm noticing a lot of redness on my glans. What should I do about this? Does this seem like a normal reaction, or should I be doing something else?

Question

I've been having this issue for a couple of months now where my penis has lost its sensitivity, and I am not feeling any pleasure from things that used to excite me visually or in real life. Although I can still get an erection when I masturbate, it's like I can't get a strong erection at any other time, sometimes only semi-hard. I started noticing this after doing some jelqing exercises, when suddenly everything felt off, so I stopped. There's this vein under my penis that's turned reddish, too. I usually masturbate only every 7 to 10 days. I'm unmarried and unemployed, and I'm really worried about this. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how I can get back to how things were before?

Question

I'm really worried about something. My penis seems really small, like what you'd expect for a 5-year-old child, when I'm not watching any porn or thinking about sex. But when I do think about sex, it only grows very slowly and doesn't get much bigger or longer, kind of like a child's. What should I do about this?

Question

I'm wondering if using coconut oil under the foreskin is a good idea for keeping things clean, especially to prevent smegma. If coconut oil isn't recommended, what other options are there that I can try? Just trying to figure out the best way to maintain hygiene down there.
