I'm really worried about this whole HIV testing thing. If I'm getting tested like two months after a possible exposure, is that result considered conclusive, or should I be thinking about getting tested again later just to be sure?

After 2 months, then hiv test after 6 months is advised to the patient.

View allI'm dealing with hair fall for the past three months and it's really worrying me. Are those shampoo-based hair colors, like Indica or Streaks, which you get in Rs 30 sachet packs, safe to use every couple of months? Also, is there any way we can stop hair from greying or falling out using medicines? And if I do decide to color, which brand would be the best pick?
Minoxidil 5. for local application ,once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised, tab finasteride 5 mg once daily for 3-6 weeks is advised to the patient.

I'm noticing these vertical brown lines on my toenails, especially on the first two toes, and I can't remember when they first showed up. I don't usually do regular pedicures, so I'm a bit concerned now. When I looked it up online, I found out it could be related to pigmentation. I also have pigmentation around my lower mouth and chin area. My skin is wheatish, and I'm 25, married, with a 19-month-old baby. Should I be worried about these toenail lines? What might be causing them, and how can I treat it?
That could be Fungal infection or Vitamin Deficiency, visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm 27 and have been dealing with a lipoma for around six years. A year ago, I found two more big ones, had surgery to remove them, but now I've noticed about 15 small ones popping up on my body. They're quite tiny at the moment. Can you give me some advice on how to get rid of them while they're still small? Also, I've just started taking homeopathy medicine a couple of days ago. I hit the gym daily - does working out make these lipomas grow more? Plus, I take whey protein. Could this be a factor?
No need to worry,thats called durcums disease and those lipomas are harmless,if they are concerning you cosmetically,visit Plastic surgeon for appropriate management
