Does masturbation lead to getting HIV or AIDS? Also, I've had pimples on my face, should I be worried about having AIDS because of that? And there was this one time when I felt some pain in my pelvic area, is that something related to AIDS too?

View allI've been suddenly getting a lot of pimples on my face and back, and it's really confusing me because I thought this phase was over. I started having this issue when I was about 21 or 25, but it settled down for around 23 years. Now, it's been flaring up again for the last 6 months, and I'm 29 now, so I wasn't expecting to deal with this. Do you have any advice on how to tackle this? Should I change my diet or try certain cosmetic products or take some precautions?
You are experiencing a recurrence of acne, which can be frustrating. To help manage your acne, you can consider using a topical treatment containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Brands like Differin gel or Proactiv can be effective. Additionally, maintaining a gentle skincare routine with a non-comedogenic cleanser and moisturizer can help. Avoiding harsh scrubs and picking at your skin is also important to prevent further irritation. In terms of diet, some studies suggest that dairy and high-glycemic foods may exacerbate acne for some individuals, so you may want to consider reducing your intake of these foods. Ensuring you stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins can also support overall skin health. It's important to remember that everyone's skin is different, so what works for one person may not work for another. If your acne persists or worsens, it may be helpful to consult with a dermatologist for a personalized treatment plan.

I'm a 50-year-old guy and recently I've noticed this strange fungal skin infection on my face. Is this something rare? What's the best way to treat it? Do I need to use a cream or are oral medications necessary as well?

I'm planning to attend an event soon and I'm thinking about using a cream called UltraBrite to reduce some marks and dark circles on my face. I'm only planning to use it for a week and then stop. Do you think that's okay? Could it have any side effects if I just use it for such a short time?
