I've been noticing these small black scabs on my scalp that just won't go away. They look like thick, rough patches of dead skin, but the rest of my scalp seems clean and dandruff-free. What's going on here? Could this be something serious?

I'm worried about whether mast*rbation could lead to pimples on my face. And how much time should I leave between each time I do it?
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'm currently taking biotin tablets for hair fall called biokare od, and I usually take them after my evening meal. However, I've been experiencing dizziness and constipation since I started using them. I'm wondering if it would be okay to take an antacid like aciloc alongside biokare od to help with these side effects. What do you recommend?
Yes you can use acolic when u have such episodes but ask your dermatologist for alternate medicine because dizziness is unusual symptom which says its showing hypersensitivity.
