Can I use Veet hair removal cream for getting rid of pubic hair? I've trimmed, but some hairs are still left, and they hurt when they grow a bit. Is it safe for the skin in that area? Are there other creams suitable for men? I'm not looking for laser treatment.

Yes, you can use Veet hair removal cream for your pubic area. Make sure to choose a sensitive skin formula to minimize the risk of irritation. Follow the instructions on the package carefully and do a patch test before applying it to a larger area.

I'm dealing with recurring eye styes and some random skin sores, plus I've noticed there's pus behind my left ear. I read online that these could be related to HIV. Can you provide some advice or insights on what might be causing these issues?

Since the iron rod pierced your foot, it's essential to consider tetanus prevention. Tetanus is a serious bacterial infection that can enter your body through cuts or wounds, especially those exposed to dirt or soil . Given that your injury isn't deep, you'll still need to assess your tetanus vaccination status. If you've had a tetanus shot within the last 10 years, you're likely covered. However, if it's been more than 10 years or you're unsure, it's best to get a booster shot within 48 to 72 hours after the injury . To further minimize the risk of tetanus infection: - *Clean the wound*: Wash the injured area with soap and water, and dry it with a clean towel. - *Apply antibiotic ointment*: Put a thin layer of antibiotic ointment on the affected area to help prevent infection. - *Cover the wound*: Cover the injured area with a bandage or dressing to keep it clean and protect it from further irritation.

I've been on Perfectil for a couple of months now as part of my PRP treatment for thinning hair. I think it's helping, but I've suddenly gotten a lot of acne, which I've never had before. Could Perfectil be causing this, and should I keep taking it? What would you advise?

Continue same treatment.
