I've got these white and black patches popping up around my neck, chest, and back. Someone mentioned it might be sobi, a skin disease? I'm really worried and just need some advice on which ointments could help treat both types of patches. Any suggestions would be appreciated. What should I be looking out for in terms of symptoms or treatments?

For white patches, you can use Tacrolimus ointment twice daily on the affected areas. For black patches, you can use Hydroquinone cream once daily on the affected areas. Make sure to apply a thin layer of the ointment or cream and gently massage it into the skin.

I'm really concerned because my HSV IgG test came back positive with a range of 24. It's been about a year since I got this virus, and I'm really scared since I've read that there's no cure for herpes. Thankfully, I haven't had any symptoms like pain, swelling, itching, or ulcers on my penis. Next year, I'm getting married, and I'm terrified of infecting my partner. Is there any way to manage or treat this so it doesnt affect my future spouse?

I'm dealing with a lot of sexual health issues, like redness and patches on the foreskin and tip of my penis for the last two years. I've tried both generic and homeopathy tablets, and while there were some small improvements with the homeopathy tablets, the redness and patches keep coming back. I've also used Clop G cream, but it hasn't helped. This all started about three years ago after a sexual encounter. The skin on the right side of my penis broke, it healed with tablets back then, but about a year later, this ongoing issue began. There hasn't been any change for the past two years. Can you give me some advice or solutions for this problem? I'm really concerned and would appreciate any guidance you can offer.
