I'm really worried because I got a positive result for HSV IgG with a range of 2.7. I've had the virus for three months, and it's mainly affecting my testicles, anus, and penis. I'm not experiencing pain, swelling, itching, or ulcers on my penis. I'm just scared and unsure if this is something that can be treated forever. Can you advise on what steps I should take?

I'm 27 and dealing with severe male pattern baldness, and now I've got dandruff too. I'm wondering if I can use minoxidil 5% solution even though I have dandruff. I'm thinking of shaving my head and starting with a dandruff shampoo, and then maybe using minoxidil after a couple of weeks. But I'm worried about any severe side effects this solution might have on my body. Is it safe to use?

I'm noticing that my skin color changes a lot throughout the day. Sometimes it looks darker, other times it's lighter. And it's not just the colormy skin goes from being really hydrated and glowing to dull and dehydrated, all within the same day. I'm a bit worried and curious about why this is happening. Could there be an underlying cause for these fast and frequent changes?
