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 noticing some white spots on my face for the past week. They're a bit rough and sometimes itchy. Usually, when this happens every couple of months, I use Clobetamil G and they go away. This time, though, it doesn't seem to be working. I'm starting to get a bit worried. What do you think might be going on?

I've been using Betnovate GM cream for fairness for the past three years, mostly applying a thick layer at night. Recently, I noticed hair growth on my face and that my skin was getting thinner. When I looked up the side effects, I realized what might be going on. Since I stopped using the cream, my skin's become super dry, flaky, dull, itchy, and covered in red bumps. I'm really worried about this. What can I do to fix my skin condition?
