Question

I'm a bit confused about the Halovate F ointment I was prescribed. I'm currently breastfeeding, and I noticed the instructions say it's not recommended for that. I asked the dermatologist again, and she reassured me it's fine. But I just want to be completely sure. Can you shed some light on this?

Halovate F ointment's instructions advise against use during breastfeeding, but your dermatologist reassures it's safe. To be 100% sure, consult another specialist or a lactation expert, considering factors like the ointment's absorption rate and potential effects on milk.

Question

I'm really struggling with a persistent fungal infection between my legs that's been bothering me for the past few months. I've tried using antifungal creams like Soframycin, Fourderm, and Betnovate N, and while they seemed to help initially, the infection always returns after a few days, especially around my private parts. Can you suggest any stronger or more effective antifungal treatments that might help clear this up for good? It's starting to really concern me.

Question

Does masturbation lead to getting HIV or AIDS? Also, I've had pimples on my face, should I be worried about having AIDS because of that? And there was this one time when I felt some pain in my pelvic area, is that something related to AIDS too?

Question

I've been dealing with a bit of a situation and could really use some advice. I had this small pimple on my forehead, and I ended up popping it early. I cleaned it up, but there was a bit of bleeding. I used some undiluted Dettol on a cotton swab to clean it, but that just made it worse and caused some irritation and a burn. I've tried soothing it with aloe vera gel, but now there's this dark circle, and it's been a few days. Any ideas on what medicine could help clear this up quickly?
