I'm currently being treated for shingles, and I'm just trying to figure out how serious it is. Is there a quick way to get better, like with an injection or something? And once it clears up, will there be any marks left on my skin?

I've been using Dk gel and Dazit M tablet for like 5 months, and suddenly I noticed these weird red spots on my thighs. They're not itchy or anything, but they went away as soon as I stopped with the Dazit M. So now I'm wondering if I can switch to LHist instead of Dazit M for maybe better results?

I'm really worried about something that happened after using a VIP black hair dye shampoo. I dyed my hair with it and washed it off within 5 minutes, but then I started having really itchy eyes and this tingling feeling all over my body. I used the same shampoo two months ago after doing a patch test, and everything was fine back then, no side effects like this. Now it's been over 14 hours since I used it and my eyelids are still itchy and I'm feeling a bit of tingling here and there. Is this kind of reaction normal, or should I be concerned? I'm really looking for some advice on what to do next.

The symptoms your friend is experiencing, such as itchy eyes and tingling sensation all over the body, after using the VIP black hair dye shampoo, are not normal and could be a cause for concern. Possible Causes 1. Allergic Reaction: The patch test 2 months ago might not have detected an allergic reaction, which can develop over time. The symptoms could be an allergic response to one or more ingredients in the shampoo. 2. Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) Reaction: PPD is a common ingredient in hair dyes, including black hair dye shampoos. PPD can cause an allergic reaction, which may lead to symptoms like itchy eyes, tingling sensation, and skin irritation. 3. Histamine Release: The shampoo might have triggered a histamine release, leading to blood vessel dilation, increased heart rate, and itching sensations.seek medical attention

I'm using metacortil lite cream for about a week now for my pimple marks and to lighten my skin tone. I havent noticed any side effects yet and no breakouts either. The marks are getting lighter too. My concern is, will this cream make my skin darker in the future? And what happens if I stop using it once my skin becomes clear and fair?
