I've got this persistent dry skin peeling just above my upper lip, and it's been quite annoying. I've tried using Cetaphil and some Vaseline petroleum jelly, but nothing's really working. Do you have any other suggestions or ideas on what might help? It's starting to worry me a bit.

If boil doesn’t drain with antibiotics, minor incision may be needed—don’t delay if swelling increases.

Can masturbation really cause hair loss? I'm experiencing a lot of hair thinning and I'm worried if it's linked to masturbating. Is this type of hair loss something that can be reversed?

Masturbation itself is not directly linked to hair loss. However, excessive stress, hormonal changes, or an imbalance caused by any behavior could contribute to hair thinning. If the hair loss is due to stress or hormonal factors, it may be reversible with proper care and treatment. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for a personalized approach.
