I'm really worried about my mom. She's dealing with this skin disease called sappi in Telugu, and it's affecting the right side of her face. It looks like it's covered in water bubbles and that side is swollen. What could this be and how should we go about treating it?

View allI'm really worried because I've developed a bacterial infection on my nails, and I think it might be due to using detergent powder. It's even spreading to my fingers. What should I do to treat this, and should I stop using that soap? Is there something specific I need to apply or any particular habits I should change to prevent it from getting worse?
Bacterial infection on nails and fingers due to detergent powder exposure can be treated with an antibiotic ointment containing Neomycin and Bacitracin. Apply the ointment to the affected nails and fingers twice daily for 1-2 weeks. In severe cases, oral antibiotics like Amoxicillin 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days may be necessary. Additionally, keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid further exposure to the detergent powder to prevent recurrence.

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.
