I m a gud boy and I m very sim My link is small

Dr. Deepak Kumar Soni

Ayurveda

Size doesn't matter of sexual satisfaction: The smaller organ has a much greater erectile capacity than the larger one. The size of the flaccid or erect penis has absolutely nothing to do with its pleasure-giving qualities. The vagina has a great deal of elasticity and it can adapt to any size of the male organ, be it large or small.

What does Link Gel do for acne?

Link Gel treats and prevents acne by stopping the growth of bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) which causes it. Acne is an extremely common skin condition. During adolescence, grease glands in the skin produce extra grease in response to normal amounts of sex hormones in the body which can cause blocked pores (i.e., blackheads). When this happens, the pores are invaded by bacteria. As a result, certain chemicals are produced which go into deeper parts of the skin to produce red spots filled with pus, called acne.

Can Link Gel cause skin rash?

The common side effects of Link Gel are irritation, swollen, pale red bumps and dryness. A scaly skin rash may occur rarely with the use of Link Gel. You must consult your doctor if it bothers you.
