Question
The doctor gave me an ointment that is most effective when applied to the testicles. In fact, he said it could be applied to other areas but would be beneficial to apply there. Is it permissible? It is important to note that this concerns a married man.
Answer
Shalom Rav
It is permissible to apply there, through thick clothing.
