I'm taking Perfectil tablets because I want to lighten my skin. It's been a week now, but I'm not sure when to expect to see any changes. Could it take a month or maybe two? I'm just wondering how long I should wait to notice a difference.

I'm really worried about my friend who's got genital herpes on his foreskin. It's weird though because he's not feeling any pain or itching at all. Is genital herpes something that happens a lot?

Genital herpes, caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), is not curable, but it's manageable with antiviral medications, and while it's often associated with painful blisters, some people, like your friend, may experience mild or asymptomatic outbreaks; genital herpes is relatively common, affecting an estimated 3.7 billion people worldwide, and it's highly contagious, so it's essential for your friend to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis, treatment, and guidance on preventing transmission.
