I've got a red mark on my face from garlic burn and I'm really worried about it scarring. Do you have any advice on how I can treat it, especially since I'm already using adapalene gel for my acne?

Question

I'm really worried about how frequently I've been masturbating and if that's a reason I ended up with candidal balanoposthitis. Do you think cutting back on masturbation could help fix this problem?

I'm currently taking Fefolz and Percos hair serum to deal with my hair loss, but I'm noticing my weight is going up and there's not much difference in my hair. Is it okay to keep using these, or could they be causing the weight gain?

Question

I'm dealing with pimples and marks on my face and I'm currently using tivenca gel in the afternoon and at night, plus peroclin gel in the evening. I'm curious about something though when I apply the tivenca gel at night and leave it on while I sleep, then wash my face with tone n glow face wash in the morning, am I somehow reducing the effectiveness of the tivenca gel? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
