I'm dealing with this stubborn fungal infection, and I'm really not sure which soap would be the most effective. I've tried a few over-the-counter options, but they don't seem to be working. Are there any specific soaps or ingredients I should look for that are good for treating fungal infections? I'd really appreciate some advice on this.

I'm a bit confused about how to use Salytar solution for my dandruff. Should I dampen my hair before applying it, or is it fine to just put it straight on dry hair? And after I apply it, do I need to wash my hair with shampoo or will rinsing with water be enough?

apply it on damp hair and wash it off with water and follow your doctors advice

I've noticed that there's something like dandruff on my penis, kind of like peeling skin. It's been happening for about a month now. Should I be worried about this or is there something specific that might be causing it? How can I get rid of it?

I'm really worried because I've developed mouth ulcers about 45 days after being exposed to the HIV virus. Could this be a symptom of HIV? I'm not sure which test I should take right now to check for HIV. Can you guide me on what's the best step to take?

Mouth ulcers can be a symptom of HIV, but they don't necessarily confirm the presence of the virus. To determine if you've contracted HIV, you can take an HIV test, specifically a 4th generation antibodyantigen (AbAg) test, which can detect HIV 45 days after exposure with 99% accuracy. Additionally, nucleic acid tests (NATs) can detect HIV 10 to 33 days after exposure, but these tests are typically used for high-risk exposures
