I've noticed that every time I masturbate, I break out with about a dozen new pimples on my face. Could there be a link between masturbation and acne? If so, what can I do about it since I know masturbation is a natural part of life?

I'm dealing with these painful boils between my buttocks, pretty close to the lower area near the anus. It's really painful when I sit and sometimes it even bleeds a little. Could you suggest any home remedies or advice on what I should do about this?

Boils between the buttocks can be painful and uncomfortable. *Home Remedies* 1. *Warm Compresses*: Apply a warm, damp washcloth to the affected area for 10-15 minutes, 3-4 times a day. This can help bring the boil to a head and encourage it to drain. 2. *Tea Tree Oil*: Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with a carrier oil like coconut or olive oil. Apply the mixture to the affected area using a cotton swab. Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties that can help combat infection. 3. *Aloe Vera*: Apply aloe vera gel directly to the affected area. Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce pain and swelling. 4. *Turmeric Paste*: Mix 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder with enough water to form a paste. Apply the paste to the affected area and leave it on for 30 minutes before rinsing off. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. 5. *Sitz Bath*: Soak in a warm sitz bath for 10-15 minutes, 2-3 times a day. This can help reduce pain and promote healing. *Precautions* 1. *Avoid Squeezing or Popping*: Resist the temptation to squeeze or pop the boil, as this can push bacteria deeper into the skin and lead to further complications. 2. *Keep the Area Clean*: Gently clean the affected area with mild soap and lukewarm water. 3. *Avoid Tight Clothing*: Wear loose, comfortable clothing
