Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Treatments are available to help you manage symptoms. And you can incorporate lifestyle habits and coping strategies to help you live better with psoriasis

View allI'm feeling really confused right now. I just found out I'm positive for HSV1 and I'm not sure what to do. Is there any kind of cure for it? Also, I'm wondering if I can marry someone who's HSV1 negative without telling them about my situation. And is it possible to have kids in the future? I could really use some advice on how to handle this.
HSV-1 (Herpes Simplex Virus) is manageable with antiviral medication, but there is no permanent cure. It's crucial to inform your partner about your condition before marriage to ensure informed decision-making. With proper care, you can have children, but taking precautions during pregnancy and birth is essential to prevent transmission.

I've got this small, round red spot on my hip, and I suspect it might be some sort of fungal infection. I've been applying a cream called Bactafuz, which has fusidic acid in it. But I'm not sure if it's really the right treatment for this. Do you think I'm using the right cream for this kind of infection, or should I be trying something else? It's been worrying me, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

I'm really worried because within just one year, I've noticed my hair is thinning so much and I'm even starting to see bald patches. It's like my hairline is receding too, and now I'm really concerned. I used to feel more confident and even a bit prettier when I had more hair. Do you think this might be something serious? Could it be from thyroid issues or maybe it's genetics? I'm just not sure what's happening, and frankly, I'm feeling freaked out. Any advice on what's causing this and what I could possibly do to stop or slow it down?
