Scalp mycosis (Tinea capitis) has universal distribution, which quite often arises in the form of epidemic flashes. Disease can be caused by all kinds of Trichophyton and Microsporum fungi. Symptoms:
At superficial trichophytosis capitis one or several centers of various sizes with rough, indistinct borders, slightly pink, more often of incorrect round shape and covered with gray-white scales arise. Hair on the affected area seems thin which is caused by hair affected by the fungi breaking off. Hair breaks off at a range of 1-2 mm over skin’s level or at scalp surface and looks like black dots then.
Chronic scalp trichophytosis is located mostly in occipital and temporal regions of head and is characterized by small centers or diffuse ill-defined desquamation against a background of which separate broken off hair is found.

Before going to a drugstore, consult with the doctor. Very often, similar symptoms belong to absolutely different diseases, and you can start treating something that you do not actually need. Besides, only a doctor can recommend the most suitable dosage for you, and also effective combinations of various medicines just for your case.
Remember: there are no absolutely harmless medicines. Side effects can be observed at usage of almost any medicine. When starting a course of treatment, it is necessary to estimate not only positive, but also possible negative consequences of taking this or that medical product - and to do that one should also consult with a doctor.
Pay attention to your condition after taking the medicine. If your condition became worse - immediately stop taking the medicine and consult with a doctor. If there are no visible changes of your state, it can either mean an inefficiency of this drug for you, or that you swallow placebo. Do not hurry with conclusions though - at many diseases, especially chronic, the effect can become evident only after a complete course of treatment.
Keep the medicines at home according to recommendations given on packages or in the instructions and far away from children. And good luck!

Genital herpes is caused by a virus of second type of herpes simplex (HSV). Most often HSV 2 is transferred by a sexual way, but however other ways of infection’s transmission are not an exception. Unfortunately, genital herpes is spread much more widely, as it is thought to be; for example, in USA it affects every fifth adult having a sexual life. Often genital herpes proceeds asymptomatically. In certain cases there can be a slight rash, an itch, and painful ulcers. There can also be moderate temperature rise, muscle pains and burning urination. HSV 2 also develops not only in the genital region, but also on the skin below the belt.
