A black spot just appeared near the corner of my eye, on the side of my nose, and it's about the size of a big drop. I only noticed it when I woke up this morning. It's not itchy, and it doesn't feel like dry skin. I'm starting to get a bit worried. What might be causing this, and what tests should I consider getting done?

The sudden appearance of a non-itchy, non-dry black spot under the eye, near the nose, could be due to various causes such as a benign skin lesion (melanocytic nevus), allergic reaction, or vascular-related issues (hematoma or vascular malformation); consult a dermatologist

View allI've been dealing with this antifungal issue for a couple of years now. Every time I use the medication prescribed by my doctor, it seems to help only temporarily, and then once I stop, the antifungal comes back. It's causing severe itching that's really uncomfortable. I'm just trying to figure out how I can get rid of this for good. Any advice would be really appreciated!

I'm feeling really confused right now. I just found out I'm positive for HSV1 and I'm not sure what to do. Is there any kind of cure for it? Also, I'm wondering if I can marry someone who's HSV1 negative without telling them about my situation. And is it possible to have kids in the future? I could really use some advice on how to handle this.
HSV-1 (Herpes Simplex Virus) is manageable with antiviral medication, but there is no permanent cure. It's crucial to inform your partner about your condition before marriage to ensure informed decision-making. With proper care, you can have children, but taking precautions during pregnancy and birth is essential to prevent transmission.
