I'm really worried about my hair and how it might be affected by my habits. I started masturbating when I was 13 and I do it quite often, sometimes even three times a day. I've noticed my hairline is starting to recede on the sides, and I'm also experiencing a bit of back pain. I'm eager to stop this behavior and I'm wondering if it's possible for my hair to grow back. Can you help me understand what's going on and how I might address it?

-Masturbation doesn't directly cause hair loss or back pain, but stress or other factors could be contributing. Reducing frequency might help improve overall well-being. For hair regrowth, it's best to consult a dermatologist to explore treatment options.

My skin's been really dry and it's causing quite a bit of pain. Someone suggested I try using Venusia cream, but I'm worried it might have steroids in it. Can you help me figure out if this cream is safe to use, or if I should look for something else?

if you want to ensure that the cream you are using does not contain steroids, you can use Venusia Max Cream. It is a steroid-free moisturizing cream that can help with dry and painful skin. Apply a thin layer of Venusia Max Cream on the affected area twice a day for best results.
