I've been trying out this NoFap challenge, where guys basically stop watching porn and don't masturbate. I've noticed some great benefits but I'm curious if there are any side effects from not masturbating or ejaculating for a long time. Should I be worried about anything?

I've been using sofradex cream on my face for the past 15 years because my skin is really oily and I wanted to get rid of pimples. Now, I can't find the cream anywhere, and my face has started to get dry and itchy. The skin around my eyelids is drying out too, and I'm noticing wrinkles forming. I always applied the cream at night, and I'm worried about what to do next. Any advice on how to handle this situation?

I applied lime on a mole on my face on August 1st, 2017, and it led to a burn. The burned skin came off on August 7th, but now the area is red. I'm currently using Fucidin ointment as advised by my doctor, but it's still red. My engagement is on August 25th, 2017. Can you suggest how I can heal it or make it better?

Given the burn injury and prolonged redness, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice; in addition to Fucidin ointment, apply topical treatments like aloe vera gel, silicone sheets, or vitamin E oil to promote healing and reduce redness; also, try cool compresses, avoid direct sun exposure, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to minimize scarring and hyperpigmentation, and hopefully, your skin will improve by your engagement date.
