I'm on holiday in Egypt and I've been feeling like there are bugs or ants crawling on my back, but when I check, there's nothing there. It's really weird and kind of freaking me out. On top of that, I'm also dealing with constipation in the lower abdomen. What could be causing these symptoms together?

Thats tactile hallucination,might be due to any food or smoke that you might have had there,visit Psychiatrist for appropriate management

I'm curious if there's any link between dandruff and masturbation. I've noticed that when I do masturbate during the week, I end up with a lot of dandruff in my hair, but if I don't, there's less dandruff. It's brown in color. This didn't happen before I started masturbating, but now it's becoming an issue. What could be going on here?

Dandruff in hair is usually caused by a fungal infection called Malassezia. Masturbation does not directly cause dandruff. However, stress and hormonal changes associated with sexual activity may contribute to dandruff flare-ups in some individuals. To address the dandruff issue, you can try using an anti-dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide. Use the shampoo at least twice a week, leaving it on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing off. If the problem persists, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm really struggling with my complexion and it's been tough finding something that works. I tried using Panderm Plus and loved the results, but since it's banned now, I'm unsure about what alternatives are out there. Are there other steroid creams or medications that are effective for skin whitening? Any advice would be really helpful!

Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.
