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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm using Benzoyl Peroxide, Benzac AC, Acnicin, Clindamycin, and Adapalene for my skin. I'm a bit confused about how to apply them. Should I be using one at night and the other in the morning, or is it better to alternate between them? Can you help me figure out the best routine?

I've got a dark brown burn mark on my upper lip from the wax I used yesterday. I'm really worried about it and was hoping you could recommend an ointment or something to help it go away quickly. Any advice?
I recommend using a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to prevent infection and promote healing of the burn patch. Apply a thin layer of Neosporin over the affected area twice a day for faster recovery. Additionally, you can also use aloe vera gel to soothe the burned skin and reduce inflammation.

I'm dealing with this ringworm issue on my testicles and the area around them for the past 5-6 years, and even though I've used many antifungal creams recommended by doctors, nothing seems to work. It's especially bad when I sweat a lot in the summer, and the itching gets unbearable. Do you have any advice on how I can permanently get rid of this? Any help would be really appreciated.
