I'm using acne UV gel in the morning and the Beneria Expert Skin Brightening gel before bed. I've been dealing with pimples and I'm considering adding Deriva CMS gel to my routine. I'm also thinking of using a moisturizer in the morning. Could you let me know the best time and way to use all these products together? I'm just not sure how to fit everything in!

Based on your current skincare routine, you can incorporate Deriva CMS gel ointment for your pimples. You can apply a thin layer of Deriva CMS gel ointment on the affected areas in the evening, after cleansing your face. Make sure to avoid the eye area and any broken skin. In the morning, after using your acne UV gel, you can apply a moisturizer suitable for acne-prone skin. This will help keep your skin hydrated without clogging your pores. Remember to always patch test new products before applying them to your entire face to check for any adverse reactions

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.
