Question 1

I'm feeling really worried about some health issues I'm experiencing. I've tested positive for HSV 1 IgG at 3.9, but my HSV 1 IgM is negative. I had unprotected sex about a year ago and my HIV test has come back negative since then. However, I've been dealing with a burning sensation on my penis and there's also pimples on the glans that aren't water-filled. I'm also experiencing a burning sensation on my tongue. I haven't started any treatment for HSV yet and I'm really concerned because I read online that not treating HSV could possibly lead to HIV in the future. I'm unmarried and this has me wondering if it's safe for me to get married in the future. Lastly, I had a liver sonography that revealed a grade 1 fatty liver about a month ago. Is this related to the HSV? What should I be doing now? I'm really in need of some guidance.

Question 2

I've noticed a small lump in my armpit, and it's swollen and hurts a bit when I move my arm. Should I be worried about this?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may have a swollen lymph node in your armpit, which can be caused by various reasons such as infection or inflammation. To help reduce the swelling and pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the area for 10-15 minutes a few times a day. If the swelling and pain persist or worsen, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 3

I've been using Skinlite for the last 4 years and I'm really worried about stopping it because I don't want my skin to darken. Plus, I'm noticing some damage to my skin. Could you suggest an alternative to Skinlite that won't cause any darkening or f...

Accepted Answer

Skinlite is a topical steroid cream. Prolonged use can lead to skin damage, thinning, and darkening. To minimize the risk of darkening, it's essential to gradually taper off the cream and transition to alternative treatments.

*Gradual Tapering*

1. *Reduce frequency*: Gradually reduce the frequency of applying Skinlite over 2-4 weeks.
2. *Decrease concentration*: If possible, switch to a lower concentration of hydroquinone (2% instead of 4%) or a different formulation.
3. *Alternate with moisturizer*: Apply a moisturizer on alternate days or nights to help your skin adjust.

*Alternative Treatments*

1. *Kojic acid creams*: Kojic acid is a natural alternative to hydroquinone, which can help reduce melanin production.
2. *Niacinamide creams*: Niacinamide has been shown to improve skin hyperpigmentation and brightness.
3. *Vitamin C serums*: Vitamin C can help brighten and even out skin tone.
4. *Azelaic acid creams*: Azelaic acid has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
5. *Natural ingredients*: Consider using natural ingredients like turmeric, aloe vera, or licorice extract, which have anti-inflammatory and skin-brightening properties.

*Sun Protection*

1. *Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen*: Apply a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily, even on cloudy days.
2. *Wear protective clothing*: Wear clothing that covers your skin, such as long-sleeved shirts and pants

Question 4

I'm really wondering how I can trust that these Refollium capsules are actually safe for my health. And, can you genuinely guarantee that they will help my hair regrow within 30 days after starting to use them?

Accepted Answer

Refollium capsule contains biotin, folic acid, and other vitamins that are beneficial for hair health. However, it is important to note that individual results may vary and it may not guarantee hair regrowth within 30 days. If you are considering trying Refollium capsule, the recommended dosage is 1 capsule daily with a glass of water. It is also important to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle for overall hair health.
