I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant and was wondering if it's safe to get my eyebrows and upper lip threaded. I also have pretty sensitive skin, so I'm a bit concerned about how it might react. Would love to get your thoughts on this!

Yes, it is generally safe to do eyebrow threading and upper lip threading during pregnancy, especially in the early stages like 8 weeks. However, since you have sensitive skin, it is important to be cautious. You can use a numbing cream containing lidocaine before the procedure to minimize any discomfort. Additionally, make sure the salon follows proper hygiene practices to reduce the risk of infection.

I've been wondering if the fact that I masturbate twice a week could be impacting my male pattern baldness. Should I be worried that my habit is making my hair loss worse or is it just a myth?

Masturbation frequency, including your habit of twice a week, has no scientifically proven link to exacerbating or causing male pattern baldness, which is primarily influenced by genetics, hormonal factors (e.g., dihydrotestosterone), and aging.

I'm dealing with really dry skin on my face, but it's weird because it's only in certain areas and it's turning whitish. I already have a gel called Clinmiskin that I used for my pimples before, and it worked great. But now that the pimples are gone, can I use the same gel for the dry and whitish skin on my face?

I'm feeling like someone's poking hundreds of tiny needles in my back at random times. Could this be some kind of skin disease, or is it something else entirely?

Neurologist opinion is advised to the patient.
