Hey, I'm 15 and sometimes I masturbate. I've noticed that my height isn't really increasing. I'm currently 5 feet 6 inches and I'm wondering if this could be the reason why I'm not getting taller. Is this something I should be worried about?

Masturbation does not have any direct impact on your height. Height is primarily determined by genetics and overall health. If you are concerned about your height, I recommend focusing on maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, and getting enough sleep to support your growth.

View allI'm a bit worried. I've been using Eytex Kajal to put a bindi on my baby's forehead, and now there's a white spot appearing in that area. I also put a small kajal dot on her cheek, but there are no white spots there. Could you help me understand why this is happening and if there's any medication I can give my 5-month-old baby girl?
The white spot that has appeared on your baby's forehead may be a reaction to the ingredients in the kajal. It is possible that the skin on the forehead is more sensitive compared to the cheek, which is why the white spot only appeared in that area. I recommend stopping the use of the eyetex kajal on your baby's forehead to see if the white spot improves. You can apply a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil lotion on the affected area to help soothe the skin. If the white spot does not improve or if it worsens, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

Can parents have sex if their child has chicken pox? Are there any risks involved or precautions we should take?
Parents can still have sex when their child has chicken pox, but it is important to take precautions to prevent the spread of the virus. Chicken pox is highly contagious, so it is recommended to avoid direct contact with the child's rash and any fluid from the blisters. It is also important to practice good hand hygiene before and after any contact with the child. As for safe ways for sex, it is advisable to wait until the child is no longer contagious, which is usually once all the blisters have crusted over. Using condoms can also help reduce the risk of transmitting the virus. If either parent has not had chicken pox before or has not been vaccinated, they should take extra precautions to avoid exposure.
