I've been feeling a burning sensation right after peeing for the past week, and the tip of my penis has been itching. I also have itching in my underarms, between my thighs, and around my scrotum could this be a fungal or bacterial infection spreading from one area to another? I've been using soap and powder to manage it, but the itching at the tip won't go away. Also, I have a tight foreskin (phimosis) and noticed a red, curved line from my shaft to the head when I pulled it back. I'm really nervous about surgery and talking to my parents what can I do to stop the itching and manage the tight foreskin? Are there stretching exercises that could help?

I've been having some issues with my sperm as it discharges too quickly and it's not strong on the bottom side. I usually masturbate about twice a week. Is that not good for my health? I'm worried and would love to hear your advice.
Sounds like you may be experiencing issues with premature ejaculation and weak ejaculation force. To help improve your condition, you can try taking a medication called **Dapoxetine**. Additionally, you can also consider taking **L-Arginine** supplements to help improve sperm quality and strength. Remember to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
