What exactly are sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)?
STDs are infections that are primarily spread through intimate contact. They can affect both men and women, and in many cases, individuals may not show noticeable symptoms. Early detection and appropriate treatment are critical to avoid complications and to protect others.
How can I tell if I have an STD?
Since many STDs don’t exhibit visible signs, regular testing is the most reliable way to determine if you have an STD, even if you feel completely healthy. However, if you notice any unusual changes, such as sores, discharge, or pain when urinating, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional.
Are STDs curable or treatable?
While some STDs can be fully cured with medication, others can be controlled to minimize symptoms and prevent further complications. We provide individualized treatment plans based on the specific STD, ensuring the most effective management for each patient.
What steps can I take to prevent STDs?
Practicing safe sex, such as using condoms, is the most effective method to reduce the risk of contracting STDs. Vaccinations, like the HPV vaccine, and regular screenings are also key preventive measures, especially for those who are sexually active.
Can STDs be spread through oral sex?
Yes, STDs can be transmitted through oral sex, including infections like herpes, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Using protection during oral sex, such as dental dams or condoms, can help reduce the risk of transmission.
What should I do if I test positive for an STD?
A positive STD result may feel overwhelming, but rest assured, we are here to provide guidance and support. Treatment options vary depending on the type of STD, and we’ll help you understand your condition and discuss the next steps, including informing your partner(s) if necessary.
Why is STD testing important?
Testing is the only definitive way to know whether you have an STD, as many infections don’t cause visible symptoms. By getting tested, you protect your health and the health of your sexual partners.
When should I get tested for STDs?
How often should I get tested?
If you are sexually active, especially with multiple partners or without consistent protection, it's recommended to have testing every 6 to 12 months. Those at higher risk, such as men who have sex with men, should consider more frequent screenings.
What is leprosy?
Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by the Mycobacterium leprae bacteria, which mainly affects the skin, nerves, and sometimes the eyes. It spreads through close and prolonged contact with an untreated person, but it is not highly contagious.
What are the signs of leprosy?
The common symptoms of leprosy include patches of discolored skin, loss of sensation in affected areas, weakness in muscles, and, in more severe cases, deformities or nerve damage. It can take several years for symptoms to appear after exposure to the bacteria.
How do we treat leprosy?
Leprosy is treatable with a combination of antibiotics, which typically include medications like dapsone, rifampicin, and clofazimine. Starting treatment early helps prevent serious complications and nerve damage.

At Ever Skin and Hair Clinic, we offer comprehensive allergy and skin patch testing to help diagnose sensitivities and allergies that affect the skin. Allergic reactions can cause discomfort and, in some cases, lead to long-term skin conditions. Skin patch testing is a safe, effective method to identify allergens responsible for these reactions. Whether you're experiencing unexplained rashes, eczema, or other skin irritations, our skilled dermatologists are here to provide accurate testing and personalized treatment plans.
What is skin patch testing?
Skin patch testing is a diagnostic method used to identify allergens that might be causing skin reactions such as eczema, rashes, or itching. Small amounts of potential allergens are applied to your skin, typically on your back, and covered with a patch for 48 hours. After the patch is removed, we examine the skin for any signs of allergic reactions, such as redness, swelling, or blistering.
How does skin patch testing work?
During the test, various substances (such as fragrances, metals, or certain chemicals) are applied to your skin in small amounts using adhesive patches. After wearing the patches for 48 hours, we examine the skin for any allergic reactions. A follow-up appointment is typically scheduled to assess your skin’s response.
What types of allergies can skin patch testing detect?
Skin patch testing can help identify sensitivities to a wide variety of allergens, including those found in cosmetics, soaps, metals, fragrances, and household products. It is often used to diagnose contact dermatitis, a condition where the skin becomes inflamed after direct contact with an allergen.
