Is a small white scar on the lower lip cancer?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Your problem is nasolabial dyssebacia (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It is a type of eczema secondary to mild pityrosporum yeast infection associated with an oily part of the face, with affected areas, mild scaling, and redness in a few individuals. My suggestions: Cetaphil soap (Triclosan, sodium cocoyl isethionate, and stearic acid) for face wash, along with Lulifin cream (Luliconazole) once daily for 30 days. Apply to the affected areas even if the skin becomes normal after 30 days.

Can HIV tests give false negative results?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. You can go for PCR (polymerase chain reaction)analysis of HIV-1 RNA quantitative analysis.
