I recently found out I'm HSV1 IgG positive, and I have some concerns. I read that 3.7 billion people are infected with HSV1 according to WHO. I'm not currently taking any medicine for herpes, but I'm wondering if I should start some kind of treatment. Could you give me some advice on whether treatment is necessary or any possible next steps? I'm really looking for guidance here.

View allI've been dealing with butt acne and it's really bothering me. I'm thinking about using Neutrogena acne wash and Mederma for the scars it left. Do you think these would work? Or is there something else you recommend? I'm really looking for some advice on how to clear this up.
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.

I've accidentally torn off a piece of my nail at the base of my thumb, and now half of my lunula is still there, but the other half is missing along with the nail. The exposed nail bed is kind of raised and red. I'm really worried about how long it's going to take to heal and whether my lunula is going to grow back to look like it did before or if it's just going to grow over with clear nail. Any insights on what I can expect?
The healing time for a ripped nail at the base of the thumb can take around 6-12 weeks for the nail bed to fully recover, and 3-6 months for the nail to regrow completely; as for the lunula, it's likely that the exposed area will fill in with new nail growth, but the shape and appearance of the lunula might be altered, and it may not perfectly restore to its original half-moon shape.

I'm using cipla 8x shampoo for hair fall because my doctor recommended it, but I actually have an oily scalp without dandruff. I wash my hair every day and Im wondering if its okay to use cipla 8x daily? I tend to use just a small amount each time.
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
