I've been trying to understand how often PRP treatment can be done because different clinics are saying different things. Some say they would apply the treatment twice a month over three months if the hair doesn't grow, which adds up to six times in three months. Is this frequency safe and effective? I'm concerned about whether there's a standard or if overdoing it could have side effects.

View allI recently got my serum test results back, and they show my IgM at 0.62 and IgG at 30 on an index where 0.90 is considered non-reactive. I'm not sure what to make of these numbers. Additionally, I also had tests for HIV, VDRL, and hepatitis, and thankfully, those came back non-reactive. Could you help me understand what these results mean, especially about the herpes part? I'm feeling a bit worried and would appreciate any advice or explanation you can provide.
Based on your test results, it indicates that you have a past infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV) as your IgG levels are greater than 30. Since your IgM levels are 0.62, it suggests a recent or current infection. To manage herpes outbreaks and reduce the frequency of recurrences, you can take antiviral medications such as Valacyclovir

I'm really confused about something I had oral herpes for the first time about three weeks ago, and I can't figure out how I got it. The blisters have disappeared and the skin's healed, but I'm worried about whether it's safe to have sex, oral sex, or kiss my partner now since she hasn't been infected. Can you help?
Better to refrain from seual activities until you are healed completel because that could cause cross infection to your partner

I've been dealing with some issues with my scalp for the past 20 days. The flakes are yellowish, mostly around the top and back of my head. They're pretty easy to pick off but sometimes take some hair with them. When I wash my hair after picking them off, it really stings. Plus, I've noticed my scalp is getting oilier and my hair keeps falling out more than usual. What's going on, and what should I do?
I recommend using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole 2% to help with the flakes and scalp irritation. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks, then once a week for maintenance. Additionally, you can use a coal tar shampoo to help with the scaling and itching. Make sure to leave the shampoo on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing off. In case of increased oil secretion, you can use a shampoo containing salicylic acid to help control the oiliness. If the condition persists, it's best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
