Masturbation is a normal and healthy sexual activity. It does not cause any physical harm or have any long-term side effects. However, excessive masturbation can lead to temporary genital irritation. It is important to maintain a balance and listen to your body's needs. If you experience any discomfort, you can use over-the-counter creams like Calamine lotion to soothe the irritation.

I'm experiencing a really painful redness on the tip of my penis, and I'm pretty sure it's a bacterial infection. I've heard about Candid B cream and Fusys 150 tablet possibly being helpful for this kind of issue. Can these actually help with my situation, or should I be looking into something different? Would really appreciate some guidance on the best course of action.
