I've been a bit concerned since I woke up with some lesions near my lip after going on a trip last weekend where I played in the mud and a dirty river. They don't hurt or itch, and I don't have a fever or anything. Someone mentioned it could be Herpes Labialis, and I've been using Herpex cream which seems to have helped as the lesions are almost gone after 7 days. I'm just wondering if this really sounds like it was Herpes or if there's a chance it could be something else?

I'm wondering if it's okay to use Glocin gel during the day. Is there any issue with going outside after applying it during daylight hours? Can I use it twice a day? I've noticed small bumps, rough skin, and some fine lines on my forehead. I'm a 45-year-old woman and I'd appreciate any advice.
Niacinamide is present in the cream whichnoxidises with sunlight hence it must be used as night cream and it helps for your condition.

I'm kind of worried because I've noticed that dirt seems to be falling from my balls and it sometimes itches. Also, when it starts itching, I can see these tiny black particles falling off. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
