Hello Keahu,antituberculosis drugs like Isoniazid can cause acneiform eruptions like you have developed on your face.Persol forte cream has got high concentration of Benzoyl peroxide which can cause irritant contact dermatitis,burning sensation,itching and dryness.Kindly stop application of persol forte for now.Apply neutrogena oil free moisturizer or acnemoist cream in morning and desowen cream for one week or till the time dermatitis is there ,over the area where there is redness,dryness and irritation.Let the irritation settle and then you can apply clear gel over the lesions.Retinoids like adapalene can be started only after resolution of dermatitis .

I've been noticing a lump on my upper left thigh. It started out small and red but grew over time. The red part is about the size of a dime now. But if I feel around the lump is feels like it has expanded underneath the skin. It's very hard. I thought it was an ingrown hair, so today I squeezed it. And small amount of blood came out but no hair. Now it looks darker red/purple.

Sir, I had protected sex with a women / sex worker around 37 days back. She was having periods at that time, which I was not aware about. While removing the condom, a drop of blood came on my finger (My condom was not torn or damaged). After around 20 days, I developed a small genital wart on my pence. I immediately went to a dermatologist / STD specialist and told him the entire episode correctly. He told me that it was an HPV virus and the immune system of the body will eventually clear it with passage of time. For the wart I was advised to apply a topical cram "Imiquimod" every alternate day. I was also asked to get a VDRL test. My VDRL test came "Non Reactive" after 21 days of the exposure. However as I was extremely worried about the entire edisode, I decided to get the HIV test done today i.e. after 37 days of exposure. So I got an HIV 1/2 & P24 Combo Test done from . My report has come out to be "Index Value = 0.12" "Result= Non Reactive". My question is, in your opinion how reliable is this report?

  Doctor's Answer

Yes that's right - the antibodies can take up to 3 months, sometimes longer, to appear but the p24 antigen assay becomes positive much sooner after exposure. Still no test is fool proof and you should get retested in 8 weeks time - just the HIV 1/2 antibodies will be enough. This is just a precaution to be doubly sure - as it stands you are HIV negative based on your test results. And yes that is a standard laboratory. Regards. ...

My 3 year old has bad hives. I believe they are hives like urticaria but he was diagnosed with eczema since he was 1 year old. Now hes over 3 1/2 and it has exploded covering 80% of his body like rashes, bumps, very dry skin. His skin on legs looks like a bad sunburn and regular baths are a nightmare as the water irritates him as well as ANY kind of moisturizer. He look away Lanoline from AMD and spent over $1k in lotions and stuff alone. Food allegies were done and low on corn, wheat, oranges, soy, and few other items. Just keeping him 100% in home with air conditioner set at 68 degrees with air purifier going, new blanket, strict diet IT DOES ZERO. Im so frustrated. He went from little manageable eczema to a full blown mess. Been to doctors so many times as well as dermatologist and allergist to no aval. Also had soft yellow stools for a long time. Any kind of pressure to face turns it to a red mess and with hot skin.

Hello, Thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear about your son's problem. Unfortunately it is not possible to give on opinion on management without seeing the rash and the extent of the problem. For that I would need photographs and this would require asking a premium question on the site. I'll do my best if you choose to do so. Regards. ...

I have a sever acne pimples on my upper arms and back, so to treat it i was prescribed to use persol forte cream.I am using it since 1 month and have caused skin darkning in this areas,can u suggest me wether i should continue using it or stop its use.And i wanted to know that would this dark skin get peeled off after i stop using it and in how much time!!

  Doctor's Answer

Hello, Well Persol Forte cream works quite well for Body Acne. It causes mild skin darkening and flaking but this usually corrects in a few days time. Instead of using it on a daily basis I would suggest using it only when you have active pimples - for a few days till they clear. Use a 2.5 or 5% Benzoyl Peroxide soap or body wash while bathing on a daily basis to prevent new pimples. This should be lathered onto the body, left on for 5-10 minutes and then washed off. Please note that the infor ...

Dear Sir / Mam....Help me please to solve my problem of hair attraction. Here I am want to tell you real and interesting story of my attraction of girls hair. Its happened with me in past. I am hair fetish. It starts when I was 14 years old. A girl about 20 years old was leaving near to my house. She has long and beautiful hair. Her hair length is up to her waist and her hair so smooth and silky. Whenever I saw her hair, I attracted to her beautiful hair and suddenly my penis is become tight. One day I went to her home for some work, at that time she was making her ponytail, my god it’s nice to see her making ponytail, when I saw suddenly my penis tight, then after finishing her ponytail she goes to another room then I just saw her hair in her hair brush then I catch all hair in hair brush and came back to my home with that bunch of hair. I make round shape of that bunch of hair, because they going here and there. Then I so excited that I got bunch of her hair. Then first I smell that bunch of hair (BOH). My god it’s so nice smell of that BOH. A clinic shampoo smell is coming from that BOH. It’s so nice feeling for me. When I touch her BOH then I feel her hair is so smooth and silky. Then I slept on bed in opposite direction and playing with that BOH, while playing that BOH, I was moving my penis here and there and I feel so nice at that time. Then my attraction of her BOH is going so strong that’s why I am going to eat that BOH, I took BOH in my mouth and trying to eating it. While playing, smelling, eating with that BOH I continuously moving my penis here and there. Then after some minutes my semen was ejected. Suddenly my attraction of that BOH is zero. Then I thought what I am doing, I am eating hair? It’s bad for my digestive system and harmful for my heath. Then I remove that BOH from my mouth and thrown into dust bean. Then next day I was thinking why I thrown that BOH into dust bean. Now what I do, my attraction towards her hair is going to strong. Then I went to her home for searching her BOH, and then I got it. But that BOH is now fresh, that BOH is 2-3 day old. I catch it and came back to my home. I took smell of that BOH but there is no good smell, but that BOH was bad smell like bun of hair. You know why that bad smell is going from that BOH, because that BOH in 2-3 day old and sunlight affected to that BOH. At that time I can’t do masturbation on that BOH. But I am trying to searches fresh BOH. Sometime I got fresh BOH sometime I not. When I got fresh BOH then I did masturbation on that when I not then I didn’t. Then I got new idea for hair masturbation that is when I didn’t get hair then I just record long hair video and images in my mind. When I didn’t have hair for masturbation then I used that recorded video and images which in my mind, means I didn’t imaginary hair masturbation. I first saw all long hair girls which in my area and save their long hair videos in m mind. Then at the time of masturbation I used that recorded videos of hair. I just imagine that I smell play and eat that girl’s hair and did masturbation on it. One day I saw a girl which was leaving near to my house and have nice hair, she cut her hair up to 4-5 inches. I was so sad but I am trying to search that hair pieces. Near to her house there was no girl’s beauty parlor. That girl has one another sister which have also long and sexy hair. Then I thought I think she cut her hair at home with help of her sister because no beauty parlor in our area, and I was right I found her hair pieces, my god it was so nice and fresh. Clink plus shampoo smell was coming in that hair pieces. I am so excited I collect all hair pieces and came back my home and did 2-3 time masturbation on that hair pieces. Then I burn all hair pieces I don’t know why I did this but I burn all hair. Then I am so sad because I don’t have her hair pieces. I asking myself why I burn her hair. Then I went to another city for next education, I was leaving with my roommate, he is working in private company. Near to my room there are near about 6-7 ladies beauty parlors. One beauty parlor has open window means you can see from road girl’s hair cut and their treatment. I always watch how girls cut their long hair and suddenly my penis getting tight while seeing their hair cut. I try to get that cut hair. One day I was wondering from one beauty parlor that beauty parlor is closed and outside that parlor then is one carry bag. I just thought definitely girls cut hair pieces in that carry bag. Then I tried to catch that carry bag. I woke up at 2.30 AM then went to that parlor at that time no one was there. Then I collected that carry bag and hide in my room. Then my room partner goes to his job then I open that carry bag and my god I was right there are lots of girls hair pieces, like 8-9 inches, 5-6 inches, 2-3 inches. I am so excited and suddenly my penis became tight. Then I just took smell of all hair pieces my god that hair was so fresh and smell was so nice. Some hair pieces has dove shampoo smell and some has different, but smell was good. Some hair pieces were wet. First sort all hair pieces according their type and did 2-3 times masturbation on that. I have one bad habit whenever I got hair pieces I did masturbation 2-3 times and thrown into dust bean. Now I don’t have any hair pieces still I got neat about 10-15 times hair pieces but all hair pieces I thrown into dust bean after 2-3 masturbation. I have got lots of time BOH (Bunch of hair) but I thrown all BOH into dust bean after one masturbation. Now I came back to my home here there is no one beauty parlor so now I am doing hair masturbation on facebook videos, photos and imaginary videos and photos. A girls which is leaving near to my house is getting married and now is not here so now I don’t have BOH (Bunch of Hair), Hair pieces. I have options for hair masturbation is facebook hair videos and photos also imaginary hair videos and photos. I can't control my sex emotions about hair....please understand me...When I saw beautiful and long hair photos and videos then suddenly my penis tight and want masturbates on that photo and videos ..please understand ..I can't control of this...how Can I control this ...help me ...please......

Hi. I had some burning sensation or nerve pain and shakiness in my hands and legs for about six months. Feeling difficulty while walking. Feeling imbalance between both legs (particularly left leg)while walking. Feeling burn sense or pain in nerves of hands and legs during penis erection. So i consulted a neurologist in Apollo Hospitals. I told everything to doctor. They done regular blood test. Then some test like keeping wires on my fingers and giving electric shock. Then they finally took my blood sample in fasting for Vitamin B12 test. After seeing the test reports doctor told me all reports are ok but Vitamin B12 is low and so you have all these symptoms. The report said 223 in my blood for vitamin B12. So he prescribed me some tablets(i.e. 1.Gabapentin, 2.Methico OD) and ReNerve Plus injection to have weekly twice. Doctor instructed to follow these medicines for 3 months. Now you please tell me 1) all these symptoms i feel are due to Vit.B12 deficiency? 2) I didnt tell doctor one point that i feel burning sense or pain in nerves of my hands and legs during penis erection. Coz this not only occurs during my penis erection, it occurs during non-erection time also. 3) Please tell me is it any other problem for these symptoms i feel during penis erection? Or is it due to Vit.B12 deficiency only?
