Does Application Of Vicks On The Penis Improves Blood Circulation?

Hello, probably have a really dumb question. My brother rubs a lil bit of Vic’s on his penis and wraps it up. Not getting any on the head or scrotum. Says it helps with circulation. Is this true?? I’m sure it can be painful or burn. But says a lil amount helps circulate and doesn’t burn. Thank you

* As per my clinical experience, there is no effect over the enhancement of penile blood circulation through this Vicks application, but it can cause future skin problems if practised on regular basis. Do give me further chance to assist in future.
