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 allI've been having some serious lip problems recently. It started about a week ago with pain on my lips, and things have only gone downhill from there. Even though I've been staying hydrated, taking antihistamines, and using Vaseline religiously, my lips are now dry, constantly sore, and have a yellow crust on them. There's also been some itchiness inside my mouth, which I'm not sure if it's related to oral allergy syndrome or if it's something else brewing. This itchiness popped up even when I hadn't eaten anything recently, which makes me suspect it might be something else. I'm really concerned and looking for some guidance on what could be happening and what steps to take next. What do you think I should do?
indicate either an allergy, infection, or another form of dermatitis, it is essential to have a healthcare professional evaluate the situation. Depending on the diagnosis, the treatment may range from moisturizers to prescription creams or even oral medication.

I've noticed that over the past couple of years, my ear lobes and knuckles have become much darker than the rest of my skin. It's quite noticeable and I'm a bit concerned about it. Can you recommend a cream or treatment that could help lighten this discoloration?
Darkening of the skin in these areas could be due to various reasons such as friction, sun exposure, or hormonal changes. To lighten the complexion of your ear lobes and knuckles, you can use a cream containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, and glycolic acid. One option is to use a cream like "Melalite Forte Cream" which contains hydroquinone. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen with a high SPF during the day can help prevent further darkening of the skin.

I've been using this topical lulifin 1 cream and some oral capsules that my doctor prescribed for a fungal issue in my groin area. Its only been two days, but my skin turned all milky white and it's starting to peel with tiny blisters, plus there's this burning sensation. Is this a normal reaction? I should probably mention that I've used an over-the-counter cream before and ended up with thin skin and stretch marks. Could that have something to do with what's happening now, or is this something else?
The symptoms you're experiencing, such as milky white skin, peeling, small blisters, and burning sensation, are not normal and may indicate an allergic reaction or sensitivity to the lulifin 1 cream or oral antifungal medication, so stop using the medication and consult your doctor immediately.
