I've been dealing with pimples and blackheads on my face for the past couple of months and started using Deriva-Bro gel for three days now. But I'm not sure how long I should be applying this gel. Can you guide me on the right usage or any other tips?

-Hi Gulam Sarwar, you can use Deriva-BPO gel once daily, usually at night, for 4-6 weeks to see improvements. If you experience irritation, reduce usage to every other day and consult your doctor for further guidance.

View allI've noticed that my fingertips have become really sensitive, and now my sense of touch feels dulled. I can still feel things, just not as sharply as before. Also, my fingers and hands are super dry and wrinkled, almost like they've been in water too long, and this has been going on for about two weeks. I've tried using lotion multiple times a day, but the wrinkles just won't go away. It's happening on both hands. What could this be?

I've been really anxious about something and could use some advice. I had protected sex with a prostitute, and honestly, I'm feeling pretty guilty and worried about it. I'm trying to understand my risk of getting HIV from this. I got an Elisa test done 92 days after the encounter, and the result came back negative with a reading of 0.08. Should I consider this result to be final?
The ELISA test result after 92 days with a negative result and a value of 0.08 is likely conclusive. _HIV Testing Window Period:_ 1. _Most HIV tests_: Detect HIV antibodies within 23-90 days after exposure. 2. _ELISA test_: Typically detects HIV antibodies within 90 days. _Your Test Result:_ 1. _Negative result_: Indicates no detectable HIV antibodies. 2. _Value of 0.08_: This is below the threshold for a positive result. _Conclusive Result:_ Based on the test result and the time frame, it's likely that you don't have HIV. However, to be absolutely sure, consider: 1. _Repeat testing_: After 6 months to confirm the result. 2. _Discuss with a healthcare professional_: Share your concerns and test results with a doctor. Remember, it's essential to practice safe sex and get regular check-ups to maintain your sexual health.
