Answered by Dr. Neha Sud

The rash on the back of my hand is spreading across my hand. Why?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. You seem to have a little sun reaction called "polymorphous light eruption. Lamotrigine can make your skin sensitive to the sun. I suggest you apply a good physical sunscreen containing Zinc oxide and titanium oxide for at least 20 minutes before stepping out or entering the pool. Sunscreen is water-resistant, and it does not get washed off after contacting water.

What are the odds of contracting herpes sexually?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. It depends on the type of herpes that your partner have whether it is in the genital or lips. The virus that causes it are different. This means that if your partner has genital herpes and if you have oral herpes, it does not make you immune to get genital herpes. So you need to be careful and use a protective barrier contraceptive and avoid sexual contact when there are active lesions on the genitalia.

My under-eye skin is dry with dark circles. Kindly suggest topical medication.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. You have an undereye hollowing, which gives rise to the impression of you having dark circles because of changes in light reflection dynamics. This hollowing results due to the descent of cheek fat pads and thinning of the skin with loss of skin elastic support because of age. Creams can help you with the wrinkling resulting from the above-mentioned skin changes, but the descent of the cheek fat pads and their support can be corrected only with fillers. I understand you do not want to undergo any procedures, so at least you can start by taking care of the skin here.

Why am I suffering from premature graying of hair?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Premature greying of hair occurs due to multiple causes. The most common cause is genetics. If any of your parents started to have grey hair earlier, then there is a high chance for you to have grey hair earlier than them too. The other causes are vitamin deficiencies and hormonal causes.
