Question 1

how can you get rid of friction burn from sex or how can you self lubricate yourself?

Accepted Answer

Sex and lubrication: You are almost there.  The question is a good one.  The more you have passion and foreplay, the more your natural lubrication will get your vagina ready for penetration. 

But, it is also just fine to introduce some lube yourself to your vagina but you can also lube up your partner prior to insertion.  This can be turned into some play as well. 

Lube can enhance sexual pleasure.

Question 2

how can i get rid of a friction burn on my penis? i've tried cutting down on masturbating but easier said then done. any help or advice would be great

Accepted Answer

Calendula cream: Some calendula cream (can find in health food stores) may help your friction burn heal, but penile skin is sensitive and needs care.  Go easy on it for a few days.  And then when you start up again, using lubricant might avoid similar injury.

Question 3

i don't know if i would consider it an abrasion or friction burn, but i got it from masturbation. it doesn't hurt but how can i get rid of it? thank u

Accepted Answer

Penis abrasion: Yes. This is very common. The penis can heal on its own very quickly. You may want to find lotion or lube for masturbation. This cuts down on the injury.

Question 4

how do i get rid of a boil on top of the butt crack?

Accepted Answer

Boil: Might be a boil, or infected cyst, anyway, needs to be surgically drained + antibiotic. If it is a cyst it needs eventually be removed.

Question 5

this sounds embarrassing on my part but there are days where i check myself thoroughly in the mirror and ive noticed that the areas between my butt crack and private area is very dark, is it something i should worry about? how can i get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Perineum: That area of the female anatomy varies in color from woman to woman. It can be pale pink or deeply wine colored normally. The pigmentation is not removable. If you still have concerns, see a gynecologist for evaluation and advice.

Question 6

i have ppp and i was putting toothpaste to get rid of it and it kinda worked but i have only being doing it for 2 days but my penis is know hurts like burns, is half red and half normal and feels dry and looks dry with like cracks. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

STOP: Tooth paste should be used ONLY inside your mouth.  Can create burn-like lesions if used on exposed skin.  Please see your Physician or Urgent Care for examination, differential diagnosis, and appropriate treatment.

Question 7

i ended up getting a thong burn. i applied some tee tree oil and feel better. i think i have a little tiny hole at the top of my butt crack or dent like one. it doesnt hurt, no bump. i tried to get a better view with my camera but cant see. ?

Accepted Answer

Burn: You are likely right of having a mechanical irritation and keeping the area dry and free of friction will be critical in allowing for time to heal. If symptoms persist or get worse, such as pain or discharge, seeing your doc for an exam will be needed as infections are possible in that area following skin breakdown.

Question 8

is there any reason why i shouldn't shave the hairs in my butt crack? will it smell worse be sweaty create friction or will people find out?

Accepted Answer

Try it: Whether you shave or not will not likely affect the odor. But if not cleanly shaven, the short stub from the partly cut hair may cause irritation.   People will only find out if you bare your butt to them.

Question 9

i'm experiencing pleural friction rub on my right side. i don't have any pain just the weird vibrating sensation when i breathe. how do i get rid?

Accepted Answer

Mgt: If there is a small amount of fluid or inflammation this will resolve in a few weeks. If you experience fever, chest pain or difficulty breathing, I would advise seeing the ED for further management . Chest imaging may be helpful in following your progress.

Question 10

what to do if i have some blisters on my vagina from lots of friction and i'm not sure how to get rid of them any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Patience: The area will heal over time.  You should avoid any further friction to the area until it is healed.
