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 sprained my neck about three days ago and I'm still on medication for it. Now I'm noticing these watery blisters popping up behind my ears in the same area. I'm wondering if it's because I've been using Volini on my neck. Could this be causing it? Should I be worried about these blisters or is this a normal reaction?
