I've been dealing with a genital herpes diagnosis on the head of my penis, and while my HIV test came back negative, these sores keep reappearing every 10 to 12 days. I was prescribed Acivir 400 and an ointment, both of which I stopped using after the initial 10-day treatment as the doctor advised. But when the sores come back, I can't help but start taking the Acivir again and applying the ointment. Is this okay to do, or should I be sticking to a specific course of medication? Are there other treatments that might help reduce how often these sores break out? Also, any precautionary measures I should be considering?

Continue same treatment.

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!

If you havent experienced any major irritation or side effects, and your dermatologist has recommended it, continuing the use of Kojivit Plus Gel for pigmentation is likely safe. However, if you notice any signs of worsening irritation or allergy, or if you feel like it's not working after consistent use, I would recommend getting back in touch with your dermatologist to discuss alternative treatments or adjustments.
