The IgM test result which is less than 0.500 means there are no recent infections. However, the IgG test result of 0.87 indicates a past infection. You might commonly have symptoms such as blisters, pain, and itching. Nevertheless, treatments are available to cope with the symptoms and outbreaks, so, don't hesitate to contact a dermatologist for more help.

Fungle infection is start from 2 year ago

Other | 28

Fungal infections may be reassured by symptoms like the reddish color, itching, and wavy skin. On the whole, they are caused by excess moisture or a weakened immune system. To deal with it, you will require antifungal treatment that will kill the fungus. Focus on cleaning and drying up the infected area, then wear clothes that are only fitted to you to help it heal.

I think I have herpes what should I do

Male | 22

Herpe­s is a common virus. It causes itchy, painful sores. The­se blisters often appe­ar around your mouth or private parts. You can get it through close contact. He­rpes may seem bad, but doctors can give­ you antiviral medicine. Using protection during se­x helps prevent spre­ading it too. Good hygiene habits are also ke­y.

Am 35 year old Getting white head like pimples on forehead

Female | 35

Those whiteheads on your forehead are probably a type of acne called comedones. The hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. Skin conditions can be accompanied by small, white bumps. One way is to use mild face washes with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide which can help remedy the clogged pores.

Hello I am Jawed, I am 32 years old, height is 170cm and weight is 60 KG. I had acne on my face 10 to 11 years ago, at that time I visited a doctor and they prescribed Betamethasone Injection and it was injecting in every acne on my face separately, the effects was so fast because the acne disappeared after two to three hours after injection. This treatment co tinues 2 months, one every week with that doctor, as the effects were temporary for individual acnes on face and as well the effect was fast, after that I became addicted to it and I was injecting this particular injection to my face myself and it goes for maybe more then 6 months and then I stopped it, about 2 to 3 months later after stopping it some side effects apeared to my skin, my skin (different areas such as face-lips, eyes, hands-shoulders, legs-tighs, neck, under arms, even the private parts) become puffy, itchy, red when I wake up from sleep, and ut continues for 3 to 4 hours and then disappears, this problem is from more then 9 years sometimes it disappears for months and sometimes it comes back, whenever I take anti-allergic tablets such as cetrizine it is all ok and when I stop taking it, it appears again, simetimes the effects are so strong mean specially when it take my eysles the puffy eyes are so heavy and it become normal after 24 to 36 hours. I didn't notice any particular thing that I am allergic to that in these 9 years. I will be very greatful if your advice helps me from this bad situation. King Regards

I have skin tags on my perineum

Female | 27

Skin tags near the­ perineum are ge­nerally innocuous. They rese­mble small protrusions of skin. Friction and rubbing of the skin causes the­ir formation. At times, itchiness or blee­ding may occur if irritated. If they cause discomfort, a doctor can re­adily remove them safe­ly. Maintaining cleanliness and dryness of the­ area can prevent furthe­r development.

Iam getting pimples on my face iam using BETAMETHASONE VALERATE AND NEOMUCIN SKIN CREAM. BETNOVATE-N

Male | 14

You should think twice about using BETAMETHASONE VALERATE AND NEOMUCIN SKIN CREAM (BETNOVATE-N) for this. Although these ointments contain corticosteroids, which are known for reducing inflammation, they can exacerbate your acne in the long run because of steroid-induced rosacea or any other reason. Pores get blocked with oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells, forming pimples. To bring your skin back to normal, it would be wise to use a mild cleanser and an oil-free moisturizer. More importantly, avoid touching them at all costs.
