I've got this big black patch on my right shoulder called a baker nevus, and I know it's harmless, but it's become a big deal for me, especially because it messes with my confidence. People say its not a big deal, but that's easy for them to say. I find myself avoiding places where I'd need to take off my shirt like the gym or beach, and even at home, I don't like being shirtless because of it. It's really affecting me psychologically, and sometimes, I just feel really frustrated about it. What can I do to get rid of or manage it? Any advice would be really appreciated.

View allI've been dealing with a genital herpes diagnosis on the head of my penis, and while my HIV test came back negative, these sores keep reappearing every 10 to 12 days. I was prescribed Acivir 400 and an ointment, both of which I stopped using after the initial 10-day treatment as the doctor advised. But when the sores come back, I can't help but start taking the Acivir again and applying the ointment. Is this okay to do, or should I be sticking to a specific course of medication? Are there other treatments that might help reduce how often these sores break out? Also, any precautionary measures I should be considering?
Continue same treatment.

I've been dealing with this really annoying itch on my scalp for over 1520 days now. I've tried dandruff shampoos and even mixed tea tree oil with coconut oil, but nothing seems to help. There's definitely no lice or dandruff, and thankfully, my hair isn't falling out in clumps or anything, just the usual few strands. I'm starting to think this all began after I used a certain type of mehndi on my hair. Could that be the cause? What should I do next?
That could be due to dryness or fungal infection,needs evaluation,visit Dermatologist for the same

Can you help me out with getting rid of my tan? The color of my face and inner body doesnt match my hands at all. My sisters wedding is in April, and I really want to look my best. I've tried a bunch of creams from ads but none of them seem to be working.
