I'm 17 and recently I've been losing a lot of hair and finding it hard to focus on my studies. I've noticed I masturbate daily and I'm worried it might be related. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest ways to handle the hair loss? Also, what kind of food should I be eating to help with this?

I'm noticing some yellow pimples on my testicles. There's no pain, but it's making me a bit anxious. Can you tell me what this could be? Should I be concerned?

The yellow pimples on your testicles are likely Fordyce spots, sebaceous cysts, or epididymal cysts, which are usually harmless and painless; however, to rule out other conditions like folliculitis, balanitis, or a sexually transmitted infection, consult a urologist
