I'm really worried about these cholesterol deposits under my eyes. I've heard about laser treatments that might help. Can you tell me if that's a good option and if it's safe? I just want to get them removed somehow.

I've been using Betnovate N for over three months to treat dark spots from acne on my face. But whenever I stop using it, my skin becomes itchy and starts burning again. I really want to find something that'll help me stop using it without those side effects. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for medications that could help?

I've been using Melamet cream for dark spot removal, and I saw it contains Hydroquinone, Tretinoin, and Mometasone Furoate. I'm a bit concerned about whether it's safe to use this regularly on my face. Could you share some advice on this?

I'm a bit confused about how to take Acivir 400 mg for these active lesions on my penis, as I've been diagnosed with HSV-2. My test results show my IGG and IGM are both at 183, while HSV-1 and HIV came back negative. The instructions were to take the medication three times a day for seven days, but I'm unsure if I should swallow the tablet with water or if it needs to be dissolved first. I wasn't able to ask the doctor who prescribed it and could really use some guidance. Any advice on this?

You should take the tablet orally with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet before swallowing. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment to effectively counter the virus and decrease the lesions.
