  5. I've been experiencing some itching on the foreskin of my penis and noticed these bumps that get bigger when I scratch them. The itching is mostly at night when I'm in bed. I havent had any sexual activity yet. I'm also feeling itchy on my elbows and fingers, both on my hands and feet. Is this eczema or something else? And what can I do to treat it?

I've been wondering if there's a link between masturbation, watching porn, and acne. Some stuff I read online says it's a myth, while others mention it could increase androgen levels, leading to acne. Could you clarify this for me? I'm really curious...

_Understanding Combination Antibiotic Therapy for Nail Wound Infection_ Your doctor has prescribed a combination of Linid 600 (linezolid) and Clavmox 625 (amoxicillin-clavulanate) to treat the infection in your nail wound. Here's why: _Reasons for Combination Therapy:_ 1. _Broad-spectrum coverage_: By combining two antibiotics with different mechanisms of action, your doctor aims to cover a broader range of potential bacteria causing the infection. 2. _Increased efficacy_: Combination therapy can enhance the effectiveness of treatment, especially in cases where the infection is caused by multiple types of bacteria. 3. _Reduced resistance_: Using two antibiotics together can help reduce the development of antibiotic resistance, making treatment more successful. _Specific Antibiotic Choices:_ 1. _Linezolid (Linid 600)_*: Effective against Gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). 2. _Amoxicillin-clavulanate (Clavmox 625)_*: Effective against a wide range of bacteria, including Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and anaerobic bacteria. _Following Doctor's Advice:_ 1. _Complete the full course_: Take both antibiotics exactly as prescribed for the full duration of treatment, even if symptoms improve before completing the course. 2. _Monitor for side effects_: Inform your doctor if you experience any side effects, such as diarrhea, nausea, or allergic reactions. _Important Notes:_ 1. _Antibiotic stewardship_: Using antibiotics responsibly helps prevent antibiotic resistance and ensures effective treatment. 2. _Wound care*: Proper wound care, including keeping the wound clean and dry, is essential for promoting healing and preventing further infection.
