I'm a 20-year-old and I've been wondering if frequently masturbating has any impact on my testosterone levels or beard growth. Is this something I should be concerned about?

There is no such relation,testosterone levels depend on your diet and sleep pattern,and for braerd growth it takes time in few people to attain fully grown beard,no need to worry,give time and consume balanced diet.

I've been having this issue with my right nipple where it keeps getting dry and itchy off and on for a few weeks now. There's also this dry patch on the areola area, like dry skin. I try using moisturizer, and it helps a bit, but it goes back to being dry and itchy pretty quickly, especially after showering. There's no pain or bleeding, or anything else weird going on. Should I be worried about this? Does it sound serious?

visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I've got this small pimple near my anus and it really hurts when I touch it. Could you help me figure out what I can do about it?

I recommend using an over-the-counter cream containing 2.5% hydrocortisone to reduce inflammation and pain. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for up to a week. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen to help with the pain. If the pimple does not improve or if you experience any worsening symptoms, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation
