I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed these white patches on the skin around my scrotum, penis, and thigh. It's been about 1.5 years since I first saw them, and luckily they haven't grown in size, but the area feels slightly numb. Do you think I should be worried, and what might be causing this?

I'm using Beneria Expert Skin Brightening Gel and Deriva CMS Gel at night. I'm not sure which one I should put on first. Should I go with the Beneria Gel and then apply the CMS Gel after?

I'm worried about whether mast*rbation could lead to pimples on my face. And how much time should I leave between each time I do it?

Masturbation itself doesn't directly cause pimples, but hormonal changes and lifestyle factors can contribute to acne. There's no need to worry about a specific "gap" between masturbation sessions unless you feel it's affecting your well-being. Focus on a healthy lifestyle, including a proper skincare routine and stress management, to reduce the risk of acne
