I'm really confused about my recent test results. About a month ago, I tested positive for HSV 1 with the IgG test, but when I got tested again this month for both HSV 1 and 2, the HSV 1 IgG test came back negative. Is it normal for the results to change like this, or could something have gone wrong with the tests?

View allMy face is totally covered with blackheads and whiteheads, except on my forehead. I scrub twice every day because otherwise I feel too self-conscious to go out. I've tried tons of dermatological products, including the PERNEX my last dermatologist suggested, but nothing has worked. Do you know anything that might actually help? I'm feeling really frustrated about this situation.
It sounds like you have tried various dermatological products without success. In this case, you can try using a topical retinoid cream such as Differin (adapalene) gel. Apply a pea-sized amount to the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, you can use a salicylic acid cleanser like Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash. Use it twice daily to help unclog pores and prevent new blackheads and whiteheads from forming. Remember to moisturize your skin as retinoids can be drying. Be patient as it may take a few weeks to see improvement.

I had eye herpes a while back in October 2016, and since then I've been left with these scars on my forehead. It's been about four months now. I've been using Demelan cream twice a day, and at night, I apply Aziderm cream for about 15 minutes. Is there anything else I should be doing, or do you think this routine will eventually help with the scars? I'm a bit worried and would love some advice.

I'm dealing with a 2nd degree burn on my leg from touching a two-wheeler silencer. It's been 10 days and I'm still experiencing pain and irritation. I showed it to a skin doctor but I'm wondering if there's anything else I should be doing to help it heal faster. Any advice?
it takes about two weeks to heal so don't panic
