I've been noticing some white flakes in my ear, and I'm not sure how to deal with it. Could this be an infection? My ears are feeling pretty dry too. What can I do about this?

I'm really worried because I got a positive result for HSV IgG with a range of 2.7. I've had the virus for three months, and it's mainly affecting my testicles, anus, and penis. I'm not experiencing pain, swelling, itching, or ulcers on my penis. I'm just scared and unsure if this is something that can be treated forever. Can you advise on what steps I should take?

I've been using Dettol on my pimples and thankfully, they disappeared. But now Im left with a dark spot where they used to be. The Dettol burns have healed, but this spot is quite noticeable. Any advice on how I can get rid of the dark spot? It's really bothering me.

You have burnt you skin. Dettol is not the treatment for pimples. It causes irritant burns. This pigmetation if not treated may last forever.
