I've had this small skin tag near my anus for about 23 years. It's not a hemorrhoid because it doesnt hurt, but it does swell up a bit during bowel movements. Im really curious to know if this is actually a skin tag or if it could be something else. Also, how can I get it removed?

I've been dealing with this skin allergy for the past 10 days, and it's really frustrating because it's spreading to my throat and neck. It's super itchy! I'm taking avil tablets and using clobate ointment, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Is there anything else I can do to get relief from this itching, or a different treatment I should try? Should I be worried about how it's spreading?

Continue all the medications..

I've been dealing with an oily scalp and hair loss and Im a bit worried because I also masturbate every two days. Is there any chance that masturbation could be causing this? Also, is it normal to masturbate every two days or around 3 to 4 times a week? If it's not considered normal, what steps can I take to manage or control my masturbation habits? I'm just trying to understand if there's a connection here or if I should be doing something different.

masturbation does not related with hair growth
