I've noticed my upper lip has this uneven, really light white discoloration, almost like it's lost pigment. It's making me a bit worried. Could you help me understand what's going on?

View allI've been dealing with an oily scalp and hair loss and Im a bit worried because I also masturbate every two days. Is there any chance that masturbation could be causing this? Also, is it normal to masturbate every two days or around 3 to 4 times a week? If it's not considered normal, what steps can I take to manage or control my masturbation habits? I'm just trying to understand if there's a connection here or if I should be doing something different.
masturbation does not related with hair growth

I've been dealing with a fungal issue from a couple of years ago that cleared up with treatment. Now, the skin on my inner thigh is darkened, and when I rub it, black dirt seems to come off. I'm also a bit overweight. Is this discoloration a leftover from the infection, or is it possibly from my weight? What can I do to lighten the skin again?
The dark skin in the inner thigh area is likely due to a condition called acanthosis nigricans, which is often associated with obesity. To help improve the dark skin in the inner thigh area, you can try the following: 1. Maintain a healthy weight through diet and exercise. 2. Keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. 3. Use a medicated cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid to lighten the dark skin. Apply it as directed by your doctor. 4. Consider using an exfoliating scrub to help remove dead skin cells and lighten the area. 5. Consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options, such as laser therapy or chemical peels, if needed. Remember to continue practicing good hygiene and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to prevent further skin issues.
