I'm 20 and I've been masturbating daily. I'm worried if this might cause any serious health issues or affect my fertility in the future. What should I know about this?

View allI was cleaning my private parts, specifically the penis and scrotum, using Dettol and now the skin on my scrotum is really dry and a bit discolored. I've also noticed it's a lot less sensitive in that area. Should I be worried, and will it get better on its own in a few days?
Potential Underlying Causes_ 1. _Nutritional deficiencies_: Deficiencies in vitamin B12, iron, or folic acid can contribute to recurring mouth ulcers. 2. _Autoimmune disorders_: Conditions like lichen planus, pemphigus, or Behet's disease can cause persistent mouth ulcers. 3. _Hormonal changes_: Hormonal fluctuations during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause can lead to mouth ulcers. 4. _Medication side effects_: Certain medications, such as NSAIDs, beta-blockers, or chemotherapy, can cause mouth ulcers. _Additional Treatment Options_ 1. _Topical corticosteroids_: Apply topical corticosteroids, like triamcinolone or clobetasol, to reduce inflammation and promote healing. 2. _Immune-modulating medications_: Consider medications like colchicine or pentoxifylline to modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation. 3. _Antiviral or antibacterial medications_: If your healthcare provider suspects a viral or bacterial infection, they may prescribe antiviral or antibacterial medications. 4. _Nutritional supplements_: Ensure adequate nutrition by taking supplements like vitamin B12, iron, or folic acid, as recommended by your healthcare provider. _Further Evaluation_ 1. _Consult a specialist_: Consider consulting an oral medicine specialist, dermatologist, or immunologist for further evaluation and guidance. 2. _Biopsy or laboratory tests_: Your healthcare provider may recommend a biopsy or laboratory tests to rule out underlying conditions.

I've been dealing with this frustrating fungal infection in my groin for a while now. It's got this annoying itching and my skin has turned dark, almost black. I'm 48 and weigh about 80 KGs. I've been using forederm ointment for a month, but if I skip even a day or two, the symptoms come right back. I'm really looking for some help here. Is there something else I should try or any advice you can give me to get this under control?
It seems like you have a persistent fungal infection in your groin area. I recommend you try using Terbinafine cream twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection internally. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent further irritation.

I've been losing a lot of hair lately, especially during washes and combing. I think it's partly due to the water in Kolkata since it has a lot of iron. Can you recommend a good shampoo for my situation? Also, I'm dealing with health issues like PCOD and low hemoglobin. I'm currently taking Livogen Z, Follihair tablets, and some Ayurvedic medicines like Kanchanaar Guggul and Triphala Ras for ovarian cysts. How long should I continue with the Follihair and Livogen Z? I've also straightened my hair recently, and I've lost a lot in the front. Really worried about how much hair I'm losing, any advice would be appreciated.
-Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo with chelating agents to counter iron buildup in the waterlook for ones labeled for "hard water." Continue Follihair and Livogen Z for at least 3-6 months or as advised by your doctor. Avoid frequent heat treatments an
