Question 1

I'm really confused about my recent test results. About a month ago, I tested positive for HSV 1 with the IgG test, but when I got tested again this month for both HSV 1 and 2, the HSV 1 IgG test came back negative. Is it normal for the results to change like this, or could something have gone wrong with the tests?

Accepted Answer

Thats unusual,visit General Physician for appropriate approach.and maintain balanced diet and healthy lifestyle

Question 2

I'm really worried because I've developed a bacterial infection on my nails, and I think it might be due to using detergent powder. It's even spreading to my fingers. What should I do to treat this, and should I stop using that soap? Is there something specific I need to apply or any particular habits I should change to prevent it from getting worse?

Accepted Answer

Bacterial infection on nails and fingers due to detergent powder exposure can be treated with an antibiotic ointment containing Neomycin and Bacitracin. Apply the ointment to the affected nails and fingers twice daily for 1-2 weeks. In severe cases, oral antibiotics like Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days may be necessary. Additionally, keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid further exposure to the detergent powder to prevent recurrence.

Question 3

I'm 20 and I've been using Skin Lite cream, and it made my face fair for the first couple of days, but then I started noticing some side effects. My face doesn't have pimples or acne, but it's turned really dark, and no other products seem to be helping. I'm getting worried and not sure what to do. Could you please give me some advice on how to deal with this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation as a side effect of using the skin lite cream. To help improve the darkening of your face, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, and glycolic acid. One option is "Melalite XL cream" which can be applied once at night for a few weeks. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day with at least SPF 30 is essential to prevent further darkening of the skin. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I'm considering using Strallium stretch mark cream, but I'm also looking into laser therapy. Do you know how effective these are? Specifically, by what percentage can laser therapy actually reduce the visibility of my stretch marks? I'm just trying to figure out which option might be better.
