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?

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.

I've been dealing with this annoying issue for a couple of years now. I had a motorcycle silencer burn on my right calf, and while it healed, I keep getting these weird allergic reactions at the same spot. Even when I don't mess with it, I see pus-filled pores popping up there occasionally. I've tried consulting several skin specialists, but nothing seems to work long-term. What could be the reason behind this persistent problem, and do you have any advice or treatment suggestions?

I'm concerned about using aziderm cream for the black spots on my face. After applying it, I felt a burning sensation after just a few minutes. Is this a normal reaction, or could there be a problem with the cream? I'm really looking to find a safe way to get rid of these spots. What do you suggest?

The burning sensation you are experiencing after applying aziderm cream is a common side effect, especially if you have sensitive skin. It may be due to the active ingredient in the cream, which is azelaic acid. If the burning sensation is severe or persistent, you should discontinue the use of the cream and consult your doctor. To remove black spots on your face, you can consider using a different cream containing ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid, or retinoids. Some options include Melalite cream, Kojivit gel, or Retin-A cream. These creams can help lighten the dark spots and improve the overall appearance of your skin.
