I've been wondering if there's a link between masturbation, watching porn, and acne. Some stuff I read online says it's a myth, while others mention it could increase androgen levels, leading to acne. Could you clarify this for me? I'm really curious and a bit worried about whether this is something I should be concerned about.

Understanding Combination Antibiotic Therapy for Nail Wound Infection
Your doctor has prescribed a combination of Linid 600 (linezolid) and Clavmox 625 (amoxicillin-clavulanate) to treat the infection in your nail wound. Here's why:
Reasons for Combination Therapy:
- Broad-spectrum coverage: By combining two antibiotics with different mechanisms of action, your doctor aims to cover a broader range of potential bacteria causing the infection.
- Increased efficacy: Combination therapy can enhance the effectiveness of treatment, especially in cases where the infection is caused by multiple types of bacteria.
- Reduced resistance: Using two antibiotics together can help reduce the development of antibiotic resistance, making treatment more successful.
Specific Antibiotic Choices:
- Linezolid (Linid 600)*: Effective against Gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus).
- Amoxicillin-clavulanate (Clavmox 625)*: Effective against a wide range of bacteria, including Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and anaerobic bacteria.
Following Doctor's Advice:
- Complete the full course: Take both antibiotics exactly as prescribed for the full duration of treatment, even if symptoms improve before completing the course.
- Monitor for side effects: Inform your doctor if you experience any side effects, such as diarrhea, nausea, or allergic reactions.
Important Notes:
- Antibiotic stewardship: Using antibiotics responsibly helps prevent antibiotic resistance and ensures effective treatment.
- _Wound care*: Proper wound care, including keeping the wound clean and dry, is essential for promoting healing and preventing further infection.

View allI've had multiple small lipomas on both hands for the past 23 years, with some on my stomach and chest too. About 12 of them hurt when pressed hard. New ones keep appearing, and some older ones are getting bigger. Every doctor I've seen says surgery is the only option, but there are so many and I'm worried about scarring. Is there a safe treatment that can stop new lipomas from forming?

I've had Fox Fordyce for 8 years and it's been hell with the constant itching only corticosteroid creams give me relief. Would surgically removing all my armpit sweat glands cure this condition? I'm desperate for a permanent solution since creams just manage symptoms.
