Question

I'm really struggling with a stubborn fungal infection that's been bothering me for the last 4 months. I've tried using amorolfine, ketoconazole, and a cream with berconazole, but it just won't go away for good. Although the redness disappears a few days after applying the medication, it keeps coming back on my bump and buttocks about a week later. What can I do to finally get rid of these annoying red patches?

Question

I recently tried to put a neem stick through my ear lobe after not wearing earrings for two months, and now it's infected. I'm wondering if I should try using Boroplus or maybe turmeric and mustard oil to treat it. What would you recommend? I'm not sure which is better for this kind of situation.

Question

I've been wondering if there's a link between masturbation, watching porn, and acne. Some stuff I read online says it's a myth, while others mention it could increase androgen levels, leading to acne. Could you clarify this for me? I'm really curious and a bit worried about whether this is something I should be concerned about.
