I've always had really thick, full hair, but lately, I've been losing a lot of it, and thats never happened to me before. My hairline has receded by about 5cm, and my hair seems to be getting thinner and weaker every day. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I can do about it?

it sounds like you may be experiencing male pattern baldness. I recommend using minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas of the scalp. Additionally, taking finasteride 1mg tablet once daily can help slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth. It's important to be consistent with these treatments to see results.

I'm dealing with a ring-shaped rash on my lower body, like my legs and thighs. It's been there for years, maybe around 2025 days, and it's just spreading instead of healing. I've tried using Cream clofresh ot, but it hasn't helped at all. What would you recommend to stop it from spreading and finally get rid of it? I'm really worried about this.
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

I've been wondering if the fact that I masturbate twice a week could be impacting my male pattern baldness. Should I be worried that my habit is making my hair loss worse or is it just a myth?
Masturbation frequency, including your habit of twice a week, has no scientifically proven link to exacerbating or causing male pattern baldness, which is primarily influenced by genetics, hormonal factors (e.g., dihydrotestosterone), and aging.
