I have suspected genital herpes and had a 5 day course of Aciclovir which finished about 12 days ago. It was improving but I can feel another sore coming. Is this a new outbreak or oart of the same outbreak and do I take another course of Aciclovir?

Answered on 23rd May '24
An old sore and a new one on the genital area may be part of the same outbreak. It is strongly advised that you get a dermatologist’s or a sexually transmitted infections specialist’s opinion for a proper diagnosis. They could evaluate your situation and see if Aciclovir is still a good therapeutic option or not.

Stress is a common cause of these types of sores, but they can also be brought on by accidentally biting your mouth or eating certain foods. To keep them from forming, it is important to try and reduce stress as much as possible while staying away from anything spicy or acidic that may irritate the area more. Good oral hygiene will help prevent future outbreaks. Over-the-counter gels are available at most stores, which will numb the pain temporarily and speed up healing times. If none of this works or if they won’t seem to go away then please see a dermatologist/dentist for further assistance.

Male | 18
Are you troubled by dry and frizzy hair? Signs include coarse, tangled strands lacking shine. This could be due to dryness or harsh products. To help, use coconut oil if your hair is oily, and opt for sulfate-free shampoos. Also, avoid washing with hot water. These steps should help you achieve silky, soft hair.

Hello doctor I have acne problem and I am using isotretinoin 5mg daily from 3 months Now I have pimple again And my skin also Oily
Male | 19
You have the feeling that you're the one who has combat acne and/or oily skin, and you have been on Isotretinoin for a few months. Acne can reoccur due to the treatment, particularly if the skin is oily. On a positive note, the greasy skin can draw congestion to the pores and form swellings. Wash your face gently, use oil-free products, and consult with a dermatologist if your acne comes back. They can modify your treatment program.

I am 25 years old Female and 6 weeks pregnant at the moment. i am suffering from an infection in my vulva and pubic hair region since 7 years now. It’s something like whitish and cheesy substance in the vulva and blackish dirt like in other remaining hairy region. I scratch it everyday before bathing but it keeps coming back within hours. What should I do?
Female | 25
Hey there! It might be a yeast infection, or perhaps it is a fungal infection in the vulva and pubic hair area as well. The whitish and cheesy substance in the vulva and blackish dirt in the pubic hair region are common symptoms. Yeast infections can be caused by moisture, poor hygiene, or taking antibiotics. The area should be kept clean and dry, wearing cotton underwear, avoiding harsh soaps, and not scratching it to prevent further irritation from the above. Over-the-counter antifungal creams might work but you can also consult a dermatologist.

Female | 30
What you might be dealing with is something known as petechiae, which are minute blood spots that result from bleeding beneath the skin. The causes could include some medical conditions, infections, or even taking some medications. Consulting a dermatologist is the most prudent course of action to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.

I had spot on forehead since I had my op ten weeks...and it really itchy I know I haven't got scabs or whatever...but it really really itchy
Female | 44
You are having an itchy sensation around that area on your forehead where the surgery was performed ten weeks ago. This can occur as the body continues its healing process and the nerves in that area start functioning again. Itching can also be a normal part of the healing process. To treat the itchiness, you can try using a gentle moisturizer on the area. Do not scratch it, as this can aggravate the situation. If the itching does not go away or intensifies, it is best to consult a dermatologist to ensure that your healing process is going well.

I have acne issue i was on medication azikem i took one month dose now mu dermatologist has suggested me to take accutane for 4 months, i dont want to take accutance what should i do can i have azikem for a month again because that safe than taking accutane for months
Female | 19
It's hard to get rid of acne, but Accutane can treat the serious cases. Azikem and Accutane have different mechanisms of action. Azikem targets the bacteria causing acne, while Accutane works by decreasing oil production. If your dermatologist recommends you take Accutane, they believe it is the best course of action for you. Their qualifications and experience should be your guiding principles in this matter if you want to have the best results.

Hello doctor, I fell in the park on Holi, and my friend applied turmeric, garlic and mustard oil on the wound after heating it.I have this injury on my knee This mark has appeared after the wound healed. Now how will it be cured?
Female | 29
You may be having a skin reaction to the things you put on your wound. This has formed a stain on your knee. Temporary things like turmeric, garlic, and mustard oil can be used on the wound but may cause skin irritation. To facilitate the healing, discontinue those substances and keep the area clean. You may also find some relief by applying a light moisturizer. If it doesn't get better, see a dermatologist for more help.

I am 21 year old and i think i have balanitis on penis clearley as all the symptoms shows its balanitis only please can you help me with some medication so it can be cured
Male | 21
Balanitis happens when the skin covering the head of the penis becomes red, itchy, and swollen. Sometimes there is a discharge with it. Poor hygiene or a yeast infection usually causes this. To help it go away, clean the area every day and keep it dry. Also, use a mild soap and water. You can try an antifungal cream too. But if that doesn't work, go to a dermatologist for help.

Warts appear mostly on the hands and feet. Sometimes they have black dots inside them. Though not harmful, warts can be annoying. You can use over-the-counter salicylic acid to remove them. Keep the area clean and dry. Don't pick or scratch warts, or they may spread. If they don't go away, consult a dermatologist.

White patches on my shaft. Painless but lots of them. I have had unprotected sex in the last 7 days. Of course going to get tested but have not seen any pictures online matching. Please advise thanks
Male | 38
White patches on your shaft are around sometimes because of a fungal infection called candidiasis or a disorder like lichen planus. These can show up after sex, especially if unprotected. These can be cured by taking medications ordered by a doctor after proper diagnosis.
