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.

I've been feeling a lot of heat on my scalp lately, like my head's hot and there's this weird sensation I can't quite put my finger on. It's making me feel a bit insecure. Any thoughts on what could be going on?

You can try using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide to help with the heat sensation on your scalp. Additionally, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen can help with any discomfort. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions on the packaging. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with a nail issue and it's actually gotten worse after taking fluconazole and glevo. I've also heard about something called oxychomycosui disease and I'm kind of worried if it might be related. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?

Treatment for nail issues and onychomycosis disease can include the use of antifungal medications. In this case, since the nail issue worsened after fluconazole and levofloxacin (Glevo), it is important to consider alternative antifungal medications. Additionally, topical antifungal medications like Ciclopirox (brand name Penlac) nail lacquer can be applied daily. It is important to continue treatment consistently as prescribed by your healthcare provider to see improvement in the nail condition.
