I've been really stressed this year and taking a lot of pain meds, like ibuprofen and naproxen. I stopped the naproxen because I thought it might be the problem. About a month and a half ago, I noticed a few tiny red spots on my upper arms. Even after stopping the naproxen, the spots are still there, and I think there are more now. I had a CBC done when I first noticed them and the platelets were normal, but all the stuff I read online is just really scary. I'm freaking out a bit. What could be causing these spots?

View allI'm really curious about how glycolic acid cream works, especially if I'm already using benzoyl peroxide 2.5% for my acne. My skin is pretty sensitive, so I'm worried about potential reactions. What's the best way to use these products together to avoid irritating my skin? Any tips would be super helpful!
Glycolic acid cream works by exfoliating the skin, unclogging pores, and promoting skin cell turnover, which can help improve acne. When used in conjunction with benzoyl peroxide 2.5%, it can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment by further exfoliating the skin and reducing inflammation. For sensitive skin, it is important to start with a lower concentration of glycolic acid (around 5-8%) and gradually increase the frequency of use as tolerated. It is recommended to apply a small amount of glycolic acid cream to clean, dry skin once every other day initially, and then increase to daily use if there is no irritation. Always follow up with a moisturizer and use a sunscreen during the day when using glycolic acid, as it can increase sun sensitivity.

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 wondering if it's safe to use luliconazole 1% cream on the male genital area. I've got really sensitive skin, and I'm a bit concerned about any possible adverse reactions since my dermatologist recommended it for a fungal infection. Can you offer any insights or precautions I should take?
based on type of reaction it is used
