I'm feeling a bit better after having chicken pox for the past 12 days. Is it okay to have sex now, or would it be safer to wait a little longer?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's great to hear you're feeling better. However, it's recommended to wait until all scabs have fallen off and your skin has healed completely before resuming sexual activity. This helps reduce the risk of spreading the virus and ensures your body has fully recovered.

View allI've got this really painful lump on the left side of my butt cheek, close to the anal area. It's swollen and feels like a boil, but I can't see any opening on it. The pain is pretty intense around the lump. What could this be, and should I be worried?
You may be experiencing a condition called a perianal abscess. This is a collection of pus in the tissue around the anal opening. To help with the pain and swelling, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. However, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment. In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed, or the abscess may need to be drained.

I've noticed a dry patch and peeling on my left scrotum, kind of like a dandruff scalp. It got worse for a bit and then stopped. Now the skin feels a bit harder, looks lighter, and has these small boils. Any idea what could be causing this?
Consult a healthcare provider or a dermatologist to get an accurate diagnosis, especially since you've noticed a change in the skin texture and color. Avoid scratching or irritating the area further as it can worsen the condition. Proper hygiene: Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection. If it is a fungal or bacterial infection, your doctor may recommend appropriate medications.

I've got a wheatish, sensitive combination skin and earlier I was using Dermadew Aloe lotion as a night cream because my dermatologist recommended it. But honestly, I haven't seen much improvement in my skin tone. I recently came across something called Dermadew GLOW cream. Do you think it's safe for me to use it regularly for clearer, glowing skin?
Dermadew Glow cream is a good option for improving skin tone and achieving a clearer, glowy skin. It contains ingredients like Kojic acid, Arbutin, Liquorice extract, Vitamin E, and Allantoin which help in brightening the skin and reducing pigmentation. You can apply a thin layer of Dermadew Glow cream on cleansed skin at night before bedtime. Remember to use sunscreen during the day while using this cream to protect your skin from sun damage.
