No. It won't and in fact it may harm your skin. Vicks Vaporub is manufactured for a different purpose. It's an ointment that means it's a thick oily preparation and hence may cause more harm to acne prone skin which is already oily. Always be careful before you try something for your acne because if it aggravates and becomes worse it will leave behind a bad scar. Be careful. Take care.

Stay away from Vicks on your penis in order to last longer! You and your girl friend will be in lots of geital pain (both of you) in no time and furthermore, the smell of Vicks will be very off putting and will stay with you for a very long time. Just go to a pharmacy (just ask) or a sex shop (even online) and purchase a safe, well-recommended numbing cream for your penis. You and your girl friend´s genitals and noses will thank you.
