I'm experiencing this weird crawling sensation on my skin and itching, but it's just on my scalp. I've checked and can't find any lice or nits. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

I'm really worried about how frequently I've been masturbating and if that's a reason I ended up with candidal balanoposthitis. Do you think cutting back on masturbation could help fix this problem?

Masturbation itself is unlikely to directly cause candidal balanoposthitis. However, excessive masturbation can contribute to the development of this condition indirectly: _Friction and irritation_: Frequent masturbation can cause friction, leading to irritation and micro-tears in the skin. This can create an environment conducive to Candida overgrowth. _Moisture accumulation_: Masturbation can lead to increased moisture in the genital area, which can contribute to Candida growth. _Imbalanced skin pH_: Frequent masturbation can disrupt the natural skin pH, creating an environment that fosters Candida growth. Limiting masturbation may help alleviate some contributing factors, but it is unlikely to cure candidal balanoposthitis on its own. Treatment typically involves: _Antifungal medications_: Topical or oral antifungals to address the Candida infection. _Good genital hygiene_: Keeping the area clean and dry. _Avoiding irritants_: Reducing friction and avoiding harsh soaps or products.

I've noticed my skin has become really dark and oily, and there's no glow anymore. This isn't related to any genetic issues. When I was about 8 years old, I had frequent cold, cough, high fevers, and stomach pains, leading to taking a lot of medicine. Could that be why my skin changed? I'm hoping there's some kind of treatment to get my skin back to normal. What do you think might help?

Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.
