Masturbation itself doesn't directly cause pimples, but hormonal changes and lifestyle factors can contribute to acne. There's no need to worry about a specific "gap" between masturbation sessions unless you feel it's affecting your well-being. Focus on a healthy lifestyle, including a proper skincare routine and stress management, to reduce the risk of acne

I've been dealing with these whitehead pimples on my nose every morning, and sometimes after I shower they just pop on their own, leaving scars. Other times, they just stay there and don't do anything. It's really getting to me. What should I do about this?

Kojiglo cream for local application for atleast 3 weeks is advised.

Can anyone tell me if Tugain 5 or Tugain 10 is better for hair loss and regrowth? I'm also curious about which one might have fewer side effects.

-For hair loss, **Tugain 5%** is generally preferred as it is effective with fewer side effects compared to **Tugain 10%**. Higher concentrations may cause more irritation, so start with the 5% version unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
