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 been using bio oil on my stretch marks for a few weeks now and I can slowly see results. I've got a question though. Is it okay to use bio oil on my face for massage? I've got acne-prone, sensitive combination skin. I'd love to massage my face once a week to boost blood flow and relax my muscles, but I'm worried about oils clogging my pores and causing more acne. I've heard from friends that bio oil helps with acne scars, so I'm curious if it's safe for facial use. If bio oil isn't suitable, could you recommend an appropriate oil for face massage? Would really appreciate your advice!

you can use it for your face also no problem it comes with essentials which help in nourishing your skin.

I've been dealing with a tinea infection recently and after consulting with my doctor, I took fluconazole tablets. While the infection is gone now, it's left me with these large black patches on my skin. Could you recommend a cream or treatment to help get my skin back to its original color?

Usually it takes time to heal and no need to worry or rush to change the treatment,have patience and give some times to heal, consume balanced diet and take adequate rest for better results.
