Hi there i understand your concern regarding your genital health...The main cause of balanitis is poor hygiene. Poor hygiene causes harmful bacteria to overpopulate the area, which can lead to infection...it can be fungal as well... Clinical examination is necessary to diagnose it and to rule out other possible conditions....you may require antibiotic or antifungal creams..Before applying any treatment option, it is important to avoid using irritants such as perfumed soap, lotion, or powder. This prevents further irritation of the foreskin...Consult nearest dermatologist they will do the needful.

I've had a lump on my penis for a few years, and recently I've noticed two more smaller ones have appeared. I'm a bit worried about what this could mean. Any idea what might be going on?

This could be due to various reasons such as infections, cysts, or other underlying conditions. I recommend you to take Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day for pain relief and inflammation. Additionally, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin on the lumps. However, it is important to have a physical examination by a healthcare provider to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.

Ive been experiencing this strange pain in the shaft of my penis, like its going to burst. It doesnt happen all the time, but now and then when my penis is erect. The pain seems to start from the middle and pushes out towards the sides. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

It sounds like you might be experiencing penile discomfort, possibly due to tension in the tissues or muscles during an erection. It could be related to conditions like Peyronie's disease, but I recommend seeing a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment options tailored to your situation.
