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.

View allI've noticed that some of the roots in the middle of my mustache aren't growing all of a sudden. It's really weird because I can see the roots, but there's no growth happening. This started happening after I got some facials and treatments for my wedding. Any idea why this might be happening or how I can get them to grow back?
That could be folliculitis or furuncle,needs evaluation,visit Suregeon for the same and also maintain proper personal hygiene.

I'm using Melamet cream and it's been about 2 years. I've noticed some good changes in my skin, but I've recently heard it might not be the best for my skin in the long run. I also heard that using hydroquinone is safe and doesn't cause harm. It's been 10 days since I stopped using the cream and I haven't noticed any changes yet. I'm worried if stopping it might make my skin turn dark again. What can I do to maintain the fairness I've gained? Would love some advice on this.
It is possible that the positive effects you experienced were temporary and not sustainable in the long term. To maintain the fairness on your face, you can consider using a safer alternative like a sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from further damage and prevent darkening. You can also use a skin lightening cream containing Hydroquinone 2% under the guidance of a dermatologist to help even out your skin tone. Remember to always patch test any new products before applying them to your face and consult with a dermatologist for personalized recommendations based on your skin type and concerns.
