I'm wondering if masturbating once a week could be affecting my skin health. I've been dealing with acne issues and trying to figure out what's going on. Could these things be related?

View allI'm really concerned about my wife's handsthey're turning purple, especially on the knuckles. They look like they're dirty, but there's actually no dirt on them. She mentioned that they feel really dry, probably because of the cold winter air. Is this just dry skin, or could it be something more serious?
The purple discoloration on your wife's knuckles, despite appearing clean, could be due to Raynaud's phenomenon, a condition causing blood vessel constriction in response to cold temperatures, or it might be a sign of poor circulation, dry skin, or a nutritional deficiency; to rule out any underlying conditions, consult a dermatologist

I'm dealing with this really annoying itching on my hands and other parts of my body. It seems to get worse both during the day and especially at night. I've tried using some English medicine, and it helps while I take it, but the itching comes right back when I stop. What could be causing this persistent itching, and what can I do to get some lasting relief? I'm starting to get really frustrated with it.
Since the medicine you previously used did not provide relief, I recommend trying an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) at a dosage of 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion containing calamine or a mild steroid cream like Hydrocortisone (brand name Cortizone-10) to the itchy areas. Remember to avoid scratching the affected skin to prevent further irritation.

I'm trying to figure out how to use the lotions my doctor recommended for white patches on my lips. They told me to use Melbild and Tacrovera, but I'm not sure which one should go on first or if it matters at all. Can I just apply them in any order? I'm really hoping to get this right.
The Melbild lotion should be applied first on the white patches on your lips. Apply a thin layer of Melbild lotion on the affected areas once daily, preferably at night. After the Melbild lotion has dried, you can then apply the Tacrovera lotion. Use the Tacrovera lotion as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily, in the morning and at night. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions carefully for the best results.
