Can I take two Limcee chewable tablets every day for better skin? I'm curious about using Limcee vitamin C tablets to improve my skin's appearance. Is this safe?

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'm really puzzled here. A while back, I got diagnosed with candidal balanitis and tried Flucan and Terbicip, which cleared up the balanitis but left these persistent red lines around the crown of my glans. They itch randomly, sometimes in the center, sometimes on the sides, and it's been like this for six months. I even tried Valcivir with no luck, and its not getting worse or better. It's just constant itching without any sign of infection. It's been two months since I stopped taking any meds. What's going on with me? Hoping you can shed some light on this.

It sounds like you may be experiencing residual symptoms of candidal balanitis despite previous treatment. The red lines and itching sensation in the center and sides of the glans crown end may indicate ongoing inflammation or irritation. Since antifungal medications like Flucan (fluconazole) and Terbicip (terbinafine) did not have an effect, and antiviral medication like Valcivir (valacyclovir) also did not help, it is possible that the current symptoms may not be related to a fungal or viral infection. I recommend trying a mild topical steroid cream like hydrocortisone cream to help reduce inflammation and itching. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas twice a day for about a week. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding irritants like harsh soaps or perfumes, and wearing loose-fitting underwear made of breathable fabric may also help alleviate symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen despite these measures, it would be best to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been using Deriva BPO gel for my moderate acne, but after a week, I started to notice some redness. Now, the redness has gone down, but there's still this dark area around my mouth. Could this be hyperpigmentation from the gel, or might it be caused by something else?

side effects include nausea, headache etc , continue all the medications ..
