I've been masturbating every day for the past three months and I'm worried if this could have any harmful effects or cause problems in the future. Can you give me some advice on whether this is something to be concerned about?

Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality. Masturbating once a day for 3 months is unlikely to cause harm. However, consider:

Overstimulation: Frequent masturbation can lead to temporary desensitization or discomfort.

Skin irritation: Aggressive or rough masturbation can cause skin irritation or injury.

Impact on relationships: Excessive masturbation might affect your relationships or daily life.

No significant long-term problems are expected. If you're concerned, consult a healthcare provider or a sexologist for personalized advice.

I'm a 33-year-old woman and I've noticed a lot more grey hair lately. I have a 2-year-old and my grey hair issues started back in college, but it was minimal then. Now it feels like every short hair is grey and my longer hairs are grey just at the roots. I've been using Henna and indigo for coloring. Is there anything else I can do about my grey hair? Any advice would be appreciated.

I've had this light black vertical stripe on my toe for about five years now. I always thought it was from my shoes, but then I read something online about it potentially being a sign of skin cancer. It's got me feeling really anxious. I havent had any pain or bleeding from it, but Id like to know if I should be concerned. What do you think it could be?

Don't worry cancer developing over toe fingers is not usual and your history says it could be stress and pressure induced pigmentation, visit Dermatologist for evaluation if its bothering you.

I'm struggling with dandruff all year round, no matter the weather. I've tried using lemon juice, hair oils, anti-dandruff shampoos, even henna, but nothing seems to work. It's super itchy all the time, and washing my hair every other day hasn't helped at all. I generally have dry skin, but this dandruff issue has really worsened in the past year. Could you please give me some advice on what I might try next?
