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've had these milia seeds on my eyelids for as long as I can remember, like 56 years, and no doctor has been able to really help me out over this past year. I've even tried some laser treatments that were supposed to work by burning off the top layer of skin, but they just keep coming back. Is there any actual solution for this? Also, what's causing them in the first place? It's been pretty frustrating, and I just want to know if there's anything else I can try or understand why they keep reappearing.
Consider consulting a dermatologist for alternative treatments like manual extraction, micro-needling, or chemical peels, and adopt preventative measures such as gentle skin care, regular exfoliation, sun protection, and a healthy lifestyle to manage persistent milia seeds on your eyelids.

I'm really curious about this Reffollium product. I've been struggling with bald spots and am wondering if it actually helps with hair growth. Is it effective for regrowing hair in areas where I'm thinning? I was thinking about ordering it and would love to get some advice before I do. Can you shed some light on whether it's worth trying?
Don't worry, drinking lemon juice after the first dose of anti-rabies vaccine is unlikely to cause any problems. The vaccine's efficacy won't be affected by the lemon juice. However, it's essential to complete the full course of the anti-rabies vaccine as prescribed by your doctor. Monitor the bite wound for signs of infection and report any concerns to your doctor.

I've noticed some lumps in my mons pubis area about a month after I shaved there. They're not very big, just a bit red, and they only hurt when I touch or gently push them. I'm thinking it might be an abscess from shaving. I'm not married, so I'm wondering if there's an antibiotic cream you could recommend or if you have any other suggestions for what might help?
