Question 1

will applying benzocaine on my penis help me last longer?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The Benzocaine will cause the penis to experience an anesthetic effect and with a decreased sensitivity, the ejaculatory period can be increased.  It is a treatment option for those with premature ejaculation.

Question 2

do they anti aging skins just prevent aging signs while you're applying them or do they last longer?

Accepted Answer

Depends!: Hi! anit-aging skin care products and treatments vary greatly in potency and effectiveness. Anything purchased over-the-counter (without a prescription) will only work while applied. For a product or treatment to provide a more dramatic change, visit a dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Question 3

what are the effects of applying the contraceptive patch on the same place as the previous one from last week?

Accepted Answer

Usually none: If the area does not have a rash or scratch, it is fine to apply it to the same place.

Question 4

been using the same deodorant for years but within the last month my armpits have started burning when i apply it. why?

Accepted Answer

new formulation: It is possible that the brand you're using has changed the ingredients in it. I would stop using it until your skin has turned to normal. You could try unscented almay.

Question 5

i am going on my 3rd shot now and when i got my last shot they gave me a card that says 3-05 - 3-28 what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The type of shot and reason.  Often back or neck injections are given in a series of 3.  The range of dates may be what you are given.

Question 6

focal discomfort left side of abdomen about level of last rib that feels better if i apply pressure to it. what is this?

Accepted Answer

Duration is key here: The area you describe is the location of the splenic flexure, the spot where your colon makes a right turn and heads down toward the rectum. It can often be a place where feces gets hung up briefly and causes pain. But it should pass within 12-24 hours. Something that lasts longer could be trauma (which you would know about) to the spleen area; less likely stomach issues. OK to watch a few days.

Question 7

year ago i used to use gels on my hair to make spikes..but from last 5-6 months gel nor wax are working out.whenever i apply wax hair come down again?

Accepted Answer

Wrong gel??: Your hair might be getting too thin or you are using the wrong gel. If the answer to above is no, then consult a dermatologist.

Question 8

hi ive got a boil since last week and been applying supriban on daily and was very red , ive popped it about 3/4 times and still liquid coming out of it ? what do you suggest ?

Accepted Answer

See a physician: Your lesion needs to be professionally evaluated and treated. The cause is unknown, and apparently it has not resolved with the methods you have been using.

Question 9

hi doctor,

i have bad acnes on my cheeks since last 2 3 months. i am applying aloevra gel over it but nt regularly. can you suggest something quick?

Accepted Answer

Various: The cause of your acne should be established by your doctor. If it is straight forward acne then benzyl peroxide with or without an antibiotic cream might work best. Vitamin A creams may be used if safe for you. Antibiotics by mouth have been used but as a last resort. Acne can exist with other diseases so make sure you are assessed. Diet and general skin care as not touching your face may help.

Question 10

i have 2 rock hard cyst like bumps on my scalp. they seem to have gotten bigger over the last few yrs but still relatively in line w/ scalp; concerning? sometimes hurt but only after applying pressure

Accepted Answer

Scalp cysts: I'd see your doctor for an exam. One of the most common cause of scalp cysts would be "wens". These are generally benign and can be removed by a surgeon if indicated.
