Question

I'm really struggling with acne right now and I'm curious about what actually causes it and how I can treat it. Also, I've heard mixed things about whether masturbation can cause acne and would love some clarity on that. Can you help me understand this better?

Acne is caused by a combination of factors including excess oil production, clogged hair follicles, bacteria, and inflammation. To treat acne, you can use topical treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. In more severe cases, oral medications like isotretinoin may be prescribed. It is important to maintain a good skincare routine and avoid picking or squeezing acne lesions. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that masturbation causes acne.

Question

Is it okay to use minoxidil and folliserum at the same time? Can they help control my hair fall? I'm really confused because I'm losing hair so early and I don't even know why. I have a pretty bad lifestyle though I eat a lot of tasty foods but not much fruit, drink little water, and I masturbate daily, which I can't seem to stop. Do you think these habits could be causing my hair fall? Doctors say masturbation is healthy, but it always leaves me feeling weak, sleepy, and moody, plus I'm very thin. Could this be affecting my hair and self-respect?

Question

I'm thinking about using Refollium because my friends recommended it for new hair growth and preventing hair loss. Is this the right choice for me, or should I reconsider?
