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?

View allI'm really worried about my hair. It seems like my hair is getting thinner and falling out more than ever. Every time I use oil or any of those hair nourishment products, the situation just worsens. It's really freaking me out. Do you have any idea why this might be happening and what I can do to stop my hair from falling out?
Hair fall can be caused by various factors such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or underlying health conditions. In your case, it seems like you may be experiencing a reaction to the hair products you are using. I recommend stopping the use of those products and switching to a gentle and nourishing shampoo. Additionally, you can try using Minoxidil solution on your scalp to promote hair growth. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage and application instructions. It's also important to maintain a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals essential for hair health. If the problem persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for further evaluation.

I'm a 27-year-old woman and I'm dealing with an armpit yeast infection. I tried Clobetasol but didn't see any improvement. Now, I'm using Whitfield's ointment with Benzoic Acid and Salicylic Acid. Can this really help with the yeast infection, or is there a better medication I should consider?
Whitfield's ointment containing Benzoic Acid and Salicylic Acid is not typically used to treat yeast infections. For yeast infections, antifungal medications are usually recommended. You can try using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole (Canesten) or Miconazole (Monistat). Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for about 1-2 weeks. If the infection persists or worsens, it's best to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really curious about something. I've been using Fair and Lovely cream for the past six months, and I'm wondering if there are any side effects I should know about. Also, I'm a bit worried that if I stop using it, my face might get darker again. Is that something I should expect?
Fair and Lovely cream contains ingredients like hydroquinone, which can cause side effects such as skin irritation, redness, and thinning of the skin with long-term use. It is not recommended to use hydroquinone-containing products for extended periods of time without medical supervision. If you stop using the cream, your skin may revert back to its original condition, but it is important to transition to a different skincare routine to maintain the results. I recommend consulting a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and guidance on alternative skincare products.
