I'm really worried about the dark circles under my eyes; they've been there for years. I'm desperate to find a way to get rid of them. Do you know of any effective treatments? Is laser treatment a good option, or should I consider something else? I feel so frustrated with this issue and really need some advice. Can you help me out with this?

Dark circles is something that may be familial hereditary in nature and thus leading this to be a less treatable issue. However, in a lot of cases there are acquired causes - like repeated rubbing allergic condition of the eye stress anxiety depression lack of sleep etc . Its important that these issues are first addressed. You could further consider creams - but they have to be used for many months to show some visible results. Also tear trough treatment with fillers may be helpful in some cases. PRP therapy too does wonder in treating this condition.

I've been dealing with a genital herpes diagnosis on the head of my penis, and while my HIV test came back negative, these sores keep reappearing every 10 to 12 days. I was prescribed Acivir 400 and an ointment, both of which I stopped using after the initial 10-day treatment as the doctor advised. But when the sores come back, I can't help but start taking the Acivir again and applying the ointment. Is this okay to do, or should I be sticking to a specific course of medication? Are there other treatments that might help reduce how often these sores break out? Also, any precautionary measures I should be considering?

Continue same treatment.
