I've been noticing some white spots on my face for the past week. They're a bit rough and sometimes itchy. Usually, when this happens every couple of months, I use Clobetamil G and they go away. This time, though, it doesn't seem to be working. I'm starting to get a bit worried. What do you think might be going on?

View allI've noticed some small, painless bumps on the foreskin of my penis that don't itch or bother me at all. They've been there for over a year now, and Im just wondering what these might be. I've attached a photo for reference. Could you let me know what these bumps are?
May be Fordyce spots. Fordyce spots are harmless, small, yellow-white or skin-colored spots that can appear on the shaft of the penis, the labia, or the vermilion border of the lips. They are a type of ectopic sebaceous gland and are considered a normal variation. There is no specific treatment necessary for Fordyce spots, as they are benign and do not cause any symptoms. However, if you are concerned about the appearance or if they are causing you distress, you may consider consulting a dermatologist.

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.

I'm dealing with Seborrheic Dermatitis and it's causing my hair to fall out. I'm using the prescribed medical shampoos, but I'm wondering when the hair fall will stop and when this dermatitis might clear up. I'm really tired of using these harsh shampoos all the time. Is it okay to just let it heal on its own?
That will take time have patience follow your dotors advice and maintain healthy lifestyle
