You can get a yeast infection which makes the skin itch, crack and sometimes bleed, it also can become tighter and not retract easily.

Is it possible for something weird to happen to *********/balls/butthole and you ask the medical opinions of people on styleforum before consulting a doctor?

and to have the ensuing tumor press on the brain stem to the point of disinhibition of the speech center? It's rare, but I can think of one instance.

absolutely.
had a patient with an SCC of *********.
came in with lower limb oedema resembling heart failure at first glance, turned out to be an SCC of the glans that had been going on for a few weeks. turned out it'd metastasised to his abdo lymph glands and beyond. not nice.
