Brief Answer: Nothing to worry about Detailed Answer: Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at XXXXXXX I can understand your concern but i must tell you that masturbation has no effect at all on semen quality (Semen quality is a measure of the ability of semen to accomplish fertilization). So your previous activities would have no bearing on your current situation. However, regular masturbation does lower sperm count because the entire process of spermatogenesis takes 74 days, therefore with regular masturbation you will be releasing sperms regularly in the ejaculate and because of this sperm count can decrease but this is reversible and once you stop masturbating your sperm count will recover. Semen can change in consistency, volume and color on a day to day basis and in no way indicates what your sperm count is, or how fertile you are. If you are dehydrated, the reduced water content of your semen can also make it more jelly-like in texture. The consistency is down to two enzymes. The first, produced in the seminal vesicles, decides how thick it will be. The second (PSA) comes from the prostate gland and is designed to turn the semen into a runny liquid a few minutes after ejaculation. Variations in the amounts of these two enzymes present in your semen will decide how runny it is. You have nothing to worry about. take care regards

Brief Answer: Healthy diet, Keratolytics+consider callus removal Detailed Answer: Hi. I would advice that you take a good healthy wholesome diet (nothing specific is required) and try to keep yourself involved in other activities like Studies, Exercise, Walk/Jogging or any other hobbies to get rid of the habbit of masturbation OR you can consult a psychiatrist for behaviorial therapy. For callus i advice my patients to apply salicylic acid+lactic acid lotion once daily at night for 4-12 weeks or a little longer depending on the callus. If it is not enough it can be removed with either cautery OR Cryosrgery. It is important to address the reason for occurence of callus like constant pressure from tight shoewear, bad posture etc otherwise they can recur. For red itchy spots I would keep a possibility of Physical Urticaria/Hives OR Cholinergic Urticaria. Urticaria OR hives can occur due to various causes like(to name a few): -Infections(bacterial , viral, fungal) -Drugs -Certain foods and food additives/preservatives Physical Urticaria: Cold temperature, Heat, Pressure(Prolonged Standing, Sitting), Dermaographism etc. -Cholinergic Urticaria: in response to strong emotions, exercise, spicy food etc -Autoimmune disorders like SLE, RA etc. -A few cases have no underlying cause and are known as idiopathic urticaria. I would advice you to get few basic lab tests like Hemogram, stool for ova/cyst, Urine routine, Chest Xray. An oral antihistamine like Fexofenadine OR Loratadine once or twice daily for a week would be suitable. They are non-sedating and wont affect your alertness level. A topical soothing lotion like calamine would help you symptomatically. take care regards
