Which oil is best for face?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Usage of oil on face depends on skin type. In persons with oily skin, additional application of oil must be avoided to prevent clogging of pores. In persons with dry or flaky skin, any natural oils may be used in moderation to mosturize the skin. Coconut oil, almond oil are some of the natural oils which are good for skin.

About a month ago, my wife suddenly noticed some tiny black dots, about 1 mm in size, appearing on her face and neck over the course of a week. They don't seem like pimples or moles, but they're completely black. This is the first time something like this has happened, and there hasn't been any change in their size or color since then. What could be causing these dots? And more importantly, what should she do to get rid of them?
These black dots could be due to a condition called dermatosis papulosa nigra, which is common in people with skin of color. To get rid of them, your wife can consider using topical retinoids like Adapalene gel 0.1% once daily at night. Additionally, she can also try cryotherapy treatment with liquid nitrogen by a dermatologist to remove the black dots. It is important to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment

I recently had vaginal sex with an HIV-positive sex worker, and I used a condom throughout. I'm confident the condom didn't break, and I ejaculated into the condom, not her vagina. The sex wasn't very rough, and I didn't see any blood in her vagina. What are the chances I could have contracted HIV from this encounter? Should I get tested, or am I safe because it was protected sex? I'm really looking for some advice here.
With condom use and no visible signs of damage or blood, the risk of HIV transmission is extremely low, estimated at less than 1 in 100,000, so you are likely safe,
