I'm really confused and a bit worried about whether masturbation is bad for me. Are there any harmful effects I should be aware of? Also, is there any truth to the idea that it could be related to hair fall or developing bald patches? I'd appreciate some clarity on this.

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that masturbation is related to hair fall or the formation of bald patches. Hair loss is usually caused by factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, and certain medical conditions. If you are experiencing hair loss, it is best to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

I've been using Patchex tablets and Mel Bild solution for the past two months to deal with my patches. While Mel Bild seems to work on the existing patches, I've noticed that new ones keep popping up. Is this normal, or should I be worried about something else going on? What should I do next?

It seems like the current treatment is not fully effective in preventing the formation of new patches. I recommend adding a topical corticosteroid like Clobetasol cream to help reduce inflammation and prevent the development of new patches. Apply a thin layer of Clobetasol cream on the affected areas once daily for 4 weeks, then gradually taper off.

I'm noticing my skin is getting darker every day, and now there's this small white patch at the corner of my eye. I'm a college student, and I'm in the sun for around 3-4 hours daily, so I think that's why my skin's darkening. Plus, I've got dark circles around my eyes and dark patches near my mouth. My T-zone seems darker too. Can you tell me what's happening and what I should do about it?

There are many treatment modalities to get rid of tan visit dermatologist for a better management.
