Is it normal for an HIV rash to come and go within just 30 minutes? I'm trying to understand if there's a connection between hives and HIV, or if it's more likely that these symptoms are due to stress. I've tested HIV negative after 3 months, but I'm still dealing with a white tongue, diarrhea, and weight loss. Should I be worried about these symptoms?

View allI'm a bit confused about how to use the Ekran soft gel. Do I need to be in the sun after applying it, or is that not necessary? Also, should I only put it on the affected area or spread it across my whole face?
To use Ekran Soft Gel, you should apply it evenly to the affected area of the skin. There is no need to expose the skin to the sun after applying this gel. Just make sure to apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected area and gently massage it in. It is not necessary to apply it to the entire face unless directed by your doctor.

My brother has had stable vitiligo for about a year now after 5 years. Is there any surgery or treatment that can bring his skin back to normal within 2 months? If not, what's the fastest way to restore his normal skin? He's really stressed about starting college in Hyderabad with this condition.
While a complete return to normal skin color within two months is unlikely for vitiligo, several treatments can help improve the appearance and potentially slow the progression of the condition. Stable vitiligo means the condition hasn't spread for a year, which is a good sign, but it's crucial to remember that vitiligo is a chronic condition, and there is no cure
