I'm dealing with eczema and was told to use emoderm cream, but I can't find it in any of the pharmacies around here. Can you suggest an alternative cream that would work in its place?

An alternative to Emoderm cream for eczema could be Elica cream. You can apply Elica cream thinly on the affected skin twice a day for relief from eczema symptoms.

I'm wondering about having sex with my wife since I have HSV-2, which causes genital herpes. I really don't want her to get infected, so what would you recommend we do?

It is important to take precautions to prevent the transmission of HSV-2 to your wife. You can discuss with your doctor about starting antiviral medication such as Valacyclovir (Valtrex) to reduce the risk of transmission. It is also recommended to use condoms consistently and to avoid sexual activity during outbreaks or if you have any symptoms. Additionally, maintaining good personal hygiene and communication with your partner about your condition are important steps to protect your wife from infection.
