I've been dealing with some skin issues lately, like allergies and more pigmentation than usual. I'm 25, and my doctor suggested I try Kojivit Plus gel for the pigmentation that's been bothering me for the past couple of months. I'm curious if it's a good option for skin whitening too. Should I continue using this gel? Any advice would be really helpful!

If you havent experienced any major irritation or side effects, and your dermatologist has recommended it, continuing the use of Kojivit Plus Gel for pigmentation is likely safe. However, if you notice any signs of worsening irritation or allergy, or if you feel like it's not working after consistent use, I would recommend getting back in touch with your dermatologist to discuss alternative treatments or adjustments.

I've got a boil on my arm and I'm worried it's MRSA because I've dealt with that in the past. I visited the doctor, and they prescribed mupirocin ointment for me, but they said to put it in my nose. I'm a bit confused because the instructions say it's not meant for intranasal use. Do you think I should follow the doctor's advice even though the ointment is labeled for external use?

Mupirocin ointment is indeed meant for external use only and should not be used intranasally, as mentioned in the instructions. If you have concerns about using it in your nose, it would be best to clarify with your doctor or seek a second opinion. For the boil on your arm, your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics such as Bactrim or Clindamycin to treat MRSA infections.

I've taken an HIV rapid test three months after possible exposure, and the result came back negative. Is this result definitive, or is it advisable to have another test done?

you are highly likely to be HIV-negative. There is usually no need for additional testing unless you have new concerns or exposures.
