I'm a 23-year-old guy and I've noticed that I have puffy nipples. They look normal when it's cold, but when it's warm, they get really puffy again. It makes me feel super self-conscious about taking my shirt off. I'm pretty sure it's not gynecomastia because there aren't any lumps under the nipples. Is there anything I can do that might help with this?

I've noticed the skin under my testicles sometimes gets dry and starts peeling after some painful itching. This seems to happen for a couple of days, then it just goes back to normal with no itch or peeling, but the problem's come back again. Any ideas or suggestions on what's going on?

That looks like fungal infection which needs oral and topical antifungal medication and personal hygiene is the main stay, visit Dermatologist for appropriate management.

I've been wondering if the fact that I masturbate twice a week could be impacting my male pattern baldness. Should I be worried that my habit is making my hair loss worse or is it just a myth?

Masturbation frequency, including your habit of twice a week, has no scientifically proven link to exacerbating or causing male pattern baldness, which is primarily influenced by genetics, hormonal factors (e.g., dihydrotestosterone), and aging.

I've developed a rash under my breast, and sometimes it gets really itchy. It's actually been spreading more each day, and I'm starting to get a bit worried. Should I be seeing a gynecologist about this, or would a dermatologist be better? Any advice would be appreciated.
