Im 23 and Ive taken the I-pill three times in a year. Should I consult a doctor about this? Is there any serious impact from using it this frequently? How often can I take it without any harmful effects?

I-pills are emergency contraceptive pills and there is no problem in taking 3 pills in a year.

I noticed small red spots on the inner head of my penis a couple of days after having oral sex. Theyre causing a slight sensation too. What could this be, and how should I treat it?
