Question

I've been wondering if the fact that I masturbate twice a week could be impacting my male pattern baldness. Should I be worried that my habit is making my hair loss worse or is it just a myth?

Masturbation frequency, including your habit of twice a week, has no scientifically proven link to exacerbating or causing male pattern baldness, which is primarily influenced by genetics, hormonal factors (e.g., dihydrotestosterone), and aging.

I've got these big, irregular white patches on the side and underneath my scrotum, and they've been itching like crazy. It's been going on for about 56 months, and I think it's because of the sweating. I just noticed the patches recently. Should I be worried about this?

I'm really concerned since I've been using Mintop 10 for a couple of months and have noticed some improvements, but now I've developed these skin issues like itching on my thighs, legs, and sometimes all over. Could these be side effects from using Mintop 10? What should I do about it?
