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?

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.

Dry or frizzy Hair ko kaise sahi kare is recommended oil and shamphoo

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.

Sir mujhe fungal infection hai or raat ko itching bahutvhoti hai or dark patches hai mai 1.5 years se medicine kha Raha hu plz help me??

Male | 19

Sounds more like a case of chronic fungal infection, but itching and the patches are common symptoms. Better visit the dermatologist, who will be able to tell for sure what kind of treatment is proper for this case. They will recommend you a course of special antifungal creams and oral medicine

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.
