Question

I've just gotten over a bout of chickenpox and it seems like I'm all cured now after about 15 days. I'm wondering how long I should wait before it's safe to have sex with my wife. What do you think?

yes you can do because Chickenpox is contagious for one to two days before the appearance of the rash and until the blisters have dried and become scabs.

Question

I've been dealing with some skin issues lately, like allergies and more pigmentation than usual. I'm 25, and my doctor suggested I try Kojivit Plus gel for the pigmentation that's been bothering me for the past couple of months. I'm curious if it's a good option for skin whitening too. Should I continue using this gel? Any advice would be really helpful!

Question

I'm dealing with a really stubborn boil in a sensitive area, and it's just not going away. I used T bact or bactafuz cream like I heard it's supposed to help, and I did a round of antibiotics for three days, but there's no improvement yet. Do you think I need more antibiotics, or should I try something different? I'm starting to worry a bit that it's not getting better.

Question
