I'm a bit concerned about a boil that's appeared on my lower back. It has a black dot at the center, and I'm really not sure what to do about it. Could you recommend any medicine or treatment options? It would be great to get some advice on how to take care of this.

Question

I'm 20 years old and have been masturbating daily for the past four years. Is it healthy to do this every day? I've heard that ejaculating sperm daily might affect future fertility and that it could be risky for married life. My girlfriend is also concerned and insists I quit the habit urgently. Is there any truth to these worries, especially about affecting my ability to ovulate, even though I know ovulation is related to females? I'm anxious about whether this will complicate things when I'm married. Looking for some guidance.
