Question

Can masturbation really cause hair loss? I'm experiencing a lot of hair thinning and I'm worried if it's linked to masturbating. Is this type of hair loss something that can be reversed?

Masturbation itself is not directly linked to hair loss. However, excessive stress, hormonal changes, or an imbalance caused by any behavior could contribute to hair thinning. If the hair loss is due to stress or hormonal factors, it may be reversible with proper care and treatment. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for a personalized approach.

Question

I'm really worried right now. While I was shaving with a trimmer that has stainless steel blades, I accidentally got a cut on my scrotum. It bled quite a bit, and I noticed the skin has peeled off in about 23 places. The bleeding has stopped, but I'm unsure about how to help it heal properly. What should I apply to these cuts to prevent any further problems?

I've been noticing these black dots on my chest and stomach for the past couple of months. They're not painful or itchy, but I'm curious and a bit worried about what they might be. I usually sleep without a shirt, so I'm wondering if that might be related. Could you help me understand what these might be and why they've appeared?

Question

I'm really concerned about my very deep acne scars and was wondering how effective laser treatment might be. Are there any side effects to worry about with this treatment? How many sessions do you think it usually takes to see results for acne scars? Also, if you have any idea, how much would one session typically cost in Bangalore? Are there any specialists you would recommend for laser treatment?
