I'm a teenager and I'm really curious about whether masturbation affects my height growth. Also, is there a limit on how often I should do it in a week?

Masturbation does not affect height or growth during teenage years; it's a normal part of development. You can masturbate as often as you feel comfortable, but overdoing it might affect your focus on studies or daily activities, so moderation is key.

Is it okay to use placentrex ointment on my 3-year-old's burn wound? She's in a lot of pain. My uncle mentioned it, but Im not sure if its safe for her age. What do you think?

You can use it no problem, it helps in regeneration of healthy tissue over the wound.

I'm really worried about my baby. She's got these white spots on her face and her skin is super dry. I've been using Cetaphil moisturizer, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. What's going on, and what should I do to help her skin get better?

It sounds like your baby may be experiencing a condition called eczema, which can cause dry, itchy skin and white spots. In addition to using a moisturizer like Cetaphil, I recommend using a gentle steroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected areas twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Make sure to apply a thin layer and avoid the eye area. Also, consider using a mild soap for bathing and keeping the skin well moisturized throughout the day. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my 4 and a half-month-old daughter. She's got these small red pimple-like spots on her cheeks, just a few of them. I spoke to a doctor who suggested using Physiogel Hypoallergenic moisturizer, but after applying it for two days, there's been no improvement. Are these spots normal, or is there something else I should be doing? I've attached a picture for reference.
