View allI've been dealing with some pretty bad acne and breakouts on my face, shoulders, and back since I had chickenpox about three years ago. Before that, I never really had any issues with acne, so I'm super frustrated. I went to a bunch of doctors and tried different creams and tablets, but nothing seems to work. It's been a few years now, and every time one breakout heals, another one pops up. Could this be connected to the way the chickenpox was treated back then, or is there something else going on? I'm really worried because my face is a mess right now and I'm not sure what else to do. Any advice or solutions for dealing with acne after chickenpox?

I'm 16 and have been masturbating about three times a day. I've been wondering if this is normal or if there might be any mental or physical side effects from doing it so often. Could this be affecting my health in any way?
Masturbation leads to low energy levels, fatigue and lethargy. Masturbation is almost always associated with porn addiction, which over extended periods of time can cause effects like depression, impotence and loss of focus.
