Question

I've taken an HIV rapid test three months after possible exposure, and the result came back negative. Is this result definitive, or is it advisable to have another test done?

you are highly likely to be HIV-negative. There is usually no need for additional testing unless you have new concerns or exposures.

Question

I'm dealing with blemishes and marks on my face and my skin is really dry too. Could you recommend something effective for getting rid of these blemishes and marks?

Question

I'm having some trouble with my skin, specifically because of frozen chicken. Back in my home country, I never had any issues with eating chicken, but here, whenever I eat the frozen chicken, I get these acne breakouts on my face. They're painful and usually leave these black marks after they heal. I've noticed that when I eat fresh chicken from the market, my skin seems fine. I can try to avoid the frozen chicken, but I'm worried because there are still some face bumps that have been around for days, and I also have some old black scars. What can I do about these leftover marks and bumps?

Question

I'm dealing with some skin issues and have a noticeable black spot on my face. I'm considering using Melacare cream and Sunstop 30 cream. Do you think these products would be effective for this kind of problem, or is there something else you would recommend? I'm a bit worried about any potential side effects too.
