I'm dealing with a bad smell coming from under my foreskin, and it's making me a bit worried. There's also some mild itching going on. I've tried washing it, but the smell just keeps coming back the next day. Could you please give me some advice on what might be happening and how to fix it?

It sounds like you may have a yeast infection or balanitis. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist, consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm a bit worried about my habit of frequent masturbation, especially since I'm in the 15 to 22 age range. I've read some stuff on Google saying that doing it often when you're young can lead to early prostate cancer. Is there any truth to this, or is it just a myth? I usually masturbate twice a day and it's got me concerned about my future. Could you provide some guidance on this?
