Question 8

what is the best treatment for night emissions?

Accepted Answer

No Rx required: If you don't have a partner and aren't bringing about your own ejaculations on your own during the day, this is going to happen to you. There's nothing unhealthy about it, and in fact it lets your know that you've got the healthy body that a grown man should have. Talk with some other grown men about this side of your life -- maybe even dad.

Question 9

what is the best treatment for a baby with exzma?

Accepted Answer

Moisturize: Eczema results in dry and sensitive skin, so it is important to maintain skin hydration. Thick creams (eg, eucerin®, cetaphil®, nutraderm®), which have a low water content, or ointments (eg, petroleum jelly, vaseline®, aquaphor®), which have zero water content, provide better skin protection than lotions.  You also want to avoid trigger factors such as heat, perspiration, and low humidity.

Question 10

what is the best treatment for increase in tears?

Accepted Answer

Increased tearing: Here i assume you are asking about increased tearing rather than ways to increase your tearing. Increased tearing can be from an obstruction of tear outflow / drainage or from reflex tearing. In reflex tearing, the eyes are dry as a baseline, and some external factor (wind, etc.) dries them just a little bit more, which stimulates an outpouring of tears. Artificial tear use can help prevent this.
