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 recently noticed these small black spots on my lower back, kind of the size of an inch coin. They're not itchy, but they do hurt a little when I press on them. Should I be worried about this?
Could be due to a condition called Tinea Versicolor, which is a fungal infection of the skin. I recommend using an antifungal medication such as Clotrimazole cream twice a day on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 2-4 weeks to treat the infection effectively. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid tight clothing to help with the healing process.
