I've had dark circles since I was really young and even tried avarta under eye cream prescribed by a dermatologist but it didn't help at all. Could this be a hereditary issue? Would I need cosmetic procedures to fix this or are there other treatments I should try first

Yes, genetics can be a significant factor in the appearance of dark circles, especially if you've had them since you were young and a prescribed cream didn't help. Cosmetic procedures can be an option, but they are not always necessary. There are other treatments you could try first, like lifestyle changes and home remedies, or medical treatments like fillers or laser therapy if the dark circles are caused by volume loss or pigmentation

View allI'm 21 and have been struggling with really sweaty palms and feet, even when I'm in air-conditioned places. I went to a dermatologist, and they recommended ALDRY lotion, but I've been using it for five months now and it hasn't helped at all. What else can I try? It's really frustrating.

I've been dealing with this stubborn fungal infection and was wondering if I could use Monoguard cream instead of Lulifin. Is one better than the other in treating this? I'm really not sure which to pick and would love some guidance!
Both Monoguard cream and Lulifin cream are antifungal creams used to treat fungal infections. However, Lulifin cream contains the active ingredient luliconazole, which is specifically designed to treat fungal skin infections. Monoguard cream may not be as effective for treating fungal infections compared to Lulifin cream. I recommend using Lulifin cream for the treatment of fungal infections. Apply a thin layer of Lulifin cream to the affected area once or twice daily, as directed by your healthcare provider.

I've recently been diagnosed with shingles at 25, and I can't shake this worry after reading online that it might be a symptom of something more serious like HIV. Should I be concerned about this connection? Is there something specific I should look out for?
if you are concerned about HIV, it is important to get tested for it. In the meantime, for shingles, you can take antiviral medications such as Acyclovir 800mg five times a day for 7-10 days to help reduce the severity and duration of the outbreak. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort.
