Question

I've been feeling a lot of heat on my scalp lately, like my head's hot and there's this weird sensation I can't quite put my finger on. It's making me feel a bit insecure. Any thoughts on what could be going on?

You can try using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole or selenium sulfide to help with the heat sensation on your scalp. Additionally, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen can help with any discomfort. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions on the packaging. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Question

I'm a bit confused about how to take Acivir 400 mg for these active lesions on my penis, as I've been diagnosed with HSV-2. My test results show my IGG and IGM are both at 183, while HSV-1 and HIV came back negative. The instructions were to take the medication three times a day for seven days, but I'm unsure if I should swallow the tablet with water or if it needs to be dissolved first. I wasn't able to ask the doctor who prescribed it and could really use some guidance. Any advice on this?

Question

I'm really worried because I've noticed this bluered vein-like structure showing up below both my breasts, and it's been there for over a month now. Could it be something serious like cancer or some other underlying disease? I've also had irregular periods in the past, but they're starting to become more regular. Should I be concerned about these new symptoms?

Question

I used Veet hair removal cream on my private parts and after a few minutes, the hair started coming off, but now the area is a bit painful and has a red rash. What should I do about this?
