I'm curious if there's any link between dandruff and masturbation. I've noticed that when I do masturbate during the week, I end up with a lot of dandruff in my hair, but if I don't, there's less dandruff. It's brown in color. This didn't happen before I started masturbating, but now it's becoming an issue. What could be going on here?

Dandruff in hair is usually caused by a fungal infection called Malassezia. Masturbation does not directly cause dandruff. However, stress and hormonal changes associated with sexual activity may contribute to dandruff flare-ups in some individuals. To address the dandruff issue, you can try using an anti-dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide. Use the shampoo at least twice a week, leaving it on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing off. If the problem persists, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment.

View allI'm a bit worried about this small lump I've noticed under my skin that I think might be a lipoma. It doesn't hurt or feel uncomfortable, but I'm wondering if there are natural ways to get rid of it? I've read different things online, and it's all a bit overwhelming. Could you help me understand how to deal with it naturally?
While there are no proven natural cures for lipomas, some people suggest remedies like apple cider vinegar, turmeric, or flaxseed oil for their anti-inflammatory properties. However, it's important to consult with a doctor before trying any home treatments.

I've noticed that the left side of my upper lip has become really dry and chapped, and the skin is even starting to peel off. I've tried using coconut oil, ghee, and Vaseline to help, but it still hurts a little. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try?
Continue same treatment.
