I accidentally ate a bit of fish before having some curd, and now I'm really worried about whether this could lead to any skin issues. Can you give me any advice on what I should do or if there's anything I need to watch out for? I'm quite concerned and would appreciate your guidance.

it's believed that consuming curd (yogurt) after eating fish can lead to skin issues. However, there's limited scientific evidence to support this claim.
Possible concerns:
- Allergic reactions: If you're allergic to fish or lactose intolerant, consuming curd after fish might exacerbate symptoms.
- Digestive issues: Fish and curd can be difficult to digest for some people, potentially leading to stomach discomfort, bloating, or gas.
- Skin issues: While there's no direct link between eating curd after fish and skin problems, some people might experience skin reactions due to individual sensitivities or allergies.

View allI'm a bit confused about how to take Acivir 400 mg for these active lesions on my penis, as I've been diagnosed with HSV-2. My test results show my IGG and IGM are both at 183, while HSV-1 and HIV came back negative. The instructions were to take the medication three times a day for seven days, but I'm unsure if I should swallow the tablet with water or if it needs to be dissolved first. I wasn't able to ask the doctor who prescribed it and could really use some guidance. Any advice on this?
You should take the tablet orally with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet before swallowing. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment to effectively counter the virus and decrease the lesions.

I'm dealing with a frustrating fungal infection near my groin area that's causing a lot of itching and has turned the skin black in that spot. It's been going on for about four months now. I've been using Terbinaforce for around 6 to 8 weeks, and I've also been applying candid powder in the morning and Clocip B cream at night. How long might it take to see some real improvement? Is there anything else I should be doing to help this heal?
It is likely a case of Tinea cruris, also known as jock itch. Terbinaforce is a good choice for treating fungal infections. It contains Terbinafine which is effective against various types of fungi. The usual dosage for Terbinaforce is to apply a thin layer on the affected area once daily for 2 to 4 weeks. Additionally, using Candid powder in the morning and Clocip B cream at night is a good combination for managing the symptoms. Candid powder contains Clotrimazole which is an antifungal agent, and Clocip B cream contains Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone which helps in reducing inflammation and itching. Continue this treatment regimen for the recommended 6 to 8 weeks for optimal results.
