I've been struggling with an addiction to masturbation for the past 5 years and just can't seem to quit. I've tried multiple times, but my longest streak without it is only 10 days. I'm really at a loss here and wondering if there are any medications that could help me break this habit once and for all. Any advice?

- no medicine available for that . consult psychologist for that.

I've been dealing with these little red spots on my back and neck for about a week now. They were super itchy when they first appeared last Saturday but arent itching anymore. However, they havent gone away, and I havent taken any medication. I'm really unsure about whats going on or what I should do next. Any insights?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a rash. Based on your description of red spots that were itchy initially but are now not itching, it could be a reaction to something you came into contact with or possibly a viral rash. To help with the rash, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily to help with any remaining itchiness. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help with any discomfort. If the rash persists or worsens, it would be best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm really struggling with dandruff and I've even started getting small wounds on my scalp. I actually saw a dermatologist about a year ago, and they told me to use this lotion at night I can't remember the name and wash my hair with Kenz Sal shampoo. It helped for a bit but now the problem is back. What should I do about this issue?

Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab follihair once ,daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.
