I'm really curious about whether masturbation is actually bad for my health. Could it somehow impact my physical fitness, or maybe even affect my sperm count? I've heard a lot of different things, and I'm just looking for some clarity on this.

There is no such relation with any,stay healthy.

I'm dealing with a reddish rash on my cleavage and under my breast. It tends to get worse when I sweat and then becomes really dry and sometimes itchy after a shower. I noticed last time that a zinc-based medicine from my dermatologist helped a bit. It's not really bothering me otherwise, but I'm just not sure what else to do. What do you think it might be, and is there something more I should try?

That could be fungal infection ,maintain personal hygiene and you continue that ointment,if it is recurring have to take oral antifungal medicines ,visit dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
