I've been taking shilajit tablets every day and also, I admit, I engage in masturbation daily. I'm getting a bit worried about whether there's any negative impact from doing both of these at the same time. Could this be harmful or is it okay?

Can the withdrawal symptoms from a steroid cream really linger for up to a year? Is there hope for it to get better? I'm worried because I used the steroid cream unknowingly about two years ago. Could what I'm experiencing still be due to that use? Would really appreciate your help in understanding this.

I'm wondering if Tivenca gel can be used instead of Papulex for my face, and if it's safe to leave on overnight. Could you let me know if that's okay?
Tivenca gel is not a direct replacement for Papulex for the face. Papulex is specifically formulated for acne-prone skin and contains ingredients like nicotinamide and zinc PCA to help control excess oil production and reduce inflammation. Tivenca gel, on the other hand, is primarily used for the treatment of various skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It is best to consult with a dermatologist to determine the most suitable treatment for your skin condition. For acne treatment, you can consider using Papulex gel on the affected areas of the face in the evening before bedtime. It is recommended to apply a thin layer of the gel and leave it on overnight for best results.
