Question

I'm 16 and have been masturbating about three times a day. I've been wondering if this is normal or if there might be any mental or physical side effects from doing it so often. Could this be affecting my health in any way?

Masturbation leads to low energy levels, fatigue and lethargy. Masturbation is almost always associated with porn addiction, which over extended periods of time can cause effects like depression, impotence and loss of focus.

Question

I'm a bit confused about how to take Acivir 400 mg for these active lesions on my penis, as I've been diagnosed with HSV-2. My test results show my IGG and IGM are both at 183, while HSV-1 and HIV came back negative. The instructions were to take the medication three times a day for seven days, but I'm unsure if I should swallow the tablet with water or if it needs to be dissolved first. I wasn't able to ask the doctor who prescribed it and could really use some guidance. Any advice on this?

Question

I've noticed these small white bumps appearing on the bottom part of my penis shaft for a while now, and recently there seem to be more. They're now covering most of the base and the underside of my shaft. Can anyone tell me what these might be and suggest any possible treatments? I'm really curious and a bit worried about it.

Question

I'm noticing that my skin color changes a lot throughout the day. Sometimes it looks darker, other times it's lighter. And it's not just the colormy skin goes from being really hydrated and glowing to dull and dehydrated, all within the same day. I'm a bit worried and curious about why this is happening. Could there be an underlying cause for these fast and frequent changes?
