To remove pimple marks, you can try using a cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream, applied once daily at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen during the day is important to prevent further darkening of the marks. It is also helpful to incorporate products containing ingredients like glycolic acid or vitamin C into your skincare routine to promote skin cell turnover and fading of the marks. Remember, consistency is key when using these products for best results

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.
