A member asked:
This afternoon i put some magnesium oil on my genitals (scrotum). will this cause me any harm or is it harmless? thank you.

It's fine: It's harmless, and your scrotum will survive. If you get a rash, then you'll know not to do it again. One thing to be aware of is that fungi like moisture, so in general it's a good idea to keep you groin and genitals dry to avoid fungal infections (jock itch). But an occasional application of oil isn't going to hurt you.
