I'm hoping to get some advice on using erytop cream for my acne. Should I be applying it in the morning or at night? Also, I'm 22 and just a bit concerned about any side effects if I use it for a long time. What's your take on that?

For acne treatment with Erytop cream, it is usually recommended to apply it at night before bedtime. Cleanse your face before applying a thin layer of Erytop cream on the affected areas. As for long term use, Erytop cream may cause side effects such as dryness, redness, peeling, or irritation of the skin. It is important to use a good moisturizer and sunscreen during the day while using Erytop cream to minimize these side effects.

I've been struggling with these large red acnes or allergic bumps on my forehead lately. I tried using Castor NF with ofloxacin and terbinafine clobetasol, but they haven't helped at all. The bumps are really painful to touch, and they're not just staying on my foreheadthey're spreading to other parts of my face. I'm starting to feel really frustrated as they seem to be growing more. When I use Castor NF, they shrink a little bit, but not enough to make a difference. What could be going on, and how can I get them to stop spreading?

I don't know about the specific brand "Follice Rx tablet", but a common medication used for hair loss is minoxidil. You can try using minoxidil solution 5% or 10% applied to the scalp once daily. It has been shown to promote hair growth in some individuals.

I'm really confused about my herpes situation. I found out I'm HSV1 igg positive but igm negative. Does this mean I might accidentally pass it to someone else, or am I safe because I've got some kind of immunity now? I'm just trying to figure out what this means for me and others.

Although you have developed immunity to HSV-1, you can still potentially transmit the virus to others through asymptomatic shedding and skin-to-skin contact, so it's essential to practice safe sex and disclose your status to sexual partners.
