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 concerned about my face turning darker and more oily since I moved to Bangalore. My skin used to be wheatish, but over the past 1.5 months, it has almost turned completely black. It's really upsetting because it's only affecting my face, and nothing I've tried, like washing or whitening creams, is making a difference. I usually just use mild soap and never really used facial creams for anything else. I'm not sure who to ask about this, even though I bumped into an Ayurveda doctor last week who noticed my skin change but didn't suggest anything to fix it. Any advice on what might be happening or how to get my skin color back would be really helpful.

Question

I've been dealing with acne scars left from a breakout I had about three months ago. While the acne itself is gone, the scars have stuck around and I'm really looking for a cream or something that can help lighten and reduce them. Could you recommend something that works well for this? I'm feeling a bit self-conscious about these scars.

Question

I'm having this intense itching all over my body, but it's especially rough on the top and bottom of my foot. I've tried taking levocet, but it doesn't seem to be making much of a difference. What should I do?
