I'm dealing with this issue where my palm is getting darker, and a dermatologist mentioned it's hyperpigmentation. I've already tried medications from two different specialists, but it hasnt helped at all. I used to stay up really late for about 6-7 years, around 12 years ago. Im also a vegan. Could any of these be related to whats going on with my skin? I'm really curious about what else I can do to sort this out.

Hyperpigmentation of palms occur because of various causes like deficiency of vitamin B12, Addison's disease , malabsorption syndrome etc. So you need some investigation to exclude these conditions. Meet a dermatologist. Start vitaminB12 supplements.

View allSo, my doctor had prescribed me this medication after I had a fractional laser treatment to help with redness. It's been about two months now, and I'm noticing some redness again. I'm worried if it's okay to start taking these tablets once more, or could that lead to any side effects since the doctor initially gave me 40 tablets? Can I reuse this medication safely?
It is safe to use this medication again if you are experiencing redness after 2 months. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully and complete the full course of treatment. If you have any concerns or experience any side effects, please consult your doctor for further guidance.

I'm dealing with a persistent jock itch and the whole thing is really frustrating. I first tried using Candid Dusting powder, which helped for a bit, but the itch just kept coming back. Then I went for an antifungal cream called Clobiprop NM, and while it reduced the rashes, they returned as soon as I stopped the cream. I've also tried a stronger cream, Clop GM, which seemed to reduce the rash and itch at first, but now my skin has turned white and its painful and itching again. Could you suggest what might be a good treatment or medication for this?

I'm worried I might have been exposed to herpes. Can you tell me when it's the right time to take the herpes IgG and IgM tests after a possible infection? Also, is it true that herpes can spread from the genital area to the oral area?
You can take the herpes IgG and IgM test about **24 weeks after suspected exposure** for accurate results, as it takes time for antibodies to develop. Yes, herpes can spread from the genital area to the oral area through direct contact, especially during active outbreaks.
