Recently, I had chicken pox and now that the scabs have fallen, I've noticed small white spots left behind in those areas. Will these spots eventually fade on their own, or should I consider seeing a dermatologist? I'm worried about the cost of surgery if it comes to that, so any advice would be really helpful.

That will heal no need to worry,have patience give some time,with time it will settle,use good moisturizer for nourishment.

I recently shaved my head, something I haven't done since childhood, and now I'm seeing these white patches all over my scalp. It's really gross and embarrassing. I've had dandruff issues before, but this looks different. What could this be, and how can I get rid of it permanently? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I'm really worried about how frequently I've been masturbating and if that's a reason I ended up with candidal balanoposthitis. Do you think cutting back on masturbation could help fix this problem?

Masturbation itself is unlikely to directly cause candidal balanoposthitis. However, excessive masturbation can contribute to the development of this condition indirectly: _Friction and irritation_: Frequent masturbation can cause friction, leading to irritation and micro-tears in the skin. This can create an environment conducive to Candida overgrowth. _Moisture accumulation_: Masturbation can lead to increased moisture in the genital area, which can contribute to Candida growth. _Imbalanced skin pH_: Frequent masturbation can disrupt the natural skin pH, creating an environment that fosters Candida growth. Limiting masturbation may help alleviate some contributing factors, but it is unlikely to cure candidal balanoposthitis on its own. Treatment typically involves: _Antifungal medications_: Topical or oral antifungals to address the Candida infection. _Good genital hygiene_: Keeping the area clean and dry. _Avoiding irritants_: Reducing friction and avoiding harsh soaps or products.
