I've noticed that every time I masturbate, I break out with about a dozen new pimples on my face. Could there be a link between masturbation and acne? If so, what can I do about it since I know masturbation is a natural part of life?

I've been noticing a weird smell on my hands for a while now, probably a few months, and I can't figure out what's causing it. I initially thought it might have been from handling chemicals in my photo class, but that's been ages ago. I also used to bite my nails, but I've stopped doing that and they still have this smell. I'm cleaning them regularly too, so it's really puzzling me. Is there something wrong with my hands? What can I do to make this smell go away?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called "bromhidrosis," which is characterized by a strong, unpleasant odor coming from the skin. To help alleviate this issue, you can try using an antibacterial soap to wash your hands thoroughly. Additionally, applying an antiperspirant containing aluminum chloride to your hands at night can help reduce sweating and odor. If these measures do not improve the situation, you may consider using a prescription-strength antiperspirant like Drysol (20% aluminum chloride hexahydrate) on your hands. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment.
