I'm really worried because I just tested positive for HSV IgG. Is herpes something that's curable? Could it be dangerous, especially since I'm married? What kind of doctor should I consult to get the right advice and treatment? I'd really appreciate your guidance on this.

Question

I've been noticing some skin rashes and these black spots that might be a tan on my hands. What's strange is that this area is a completely different tone compared to the rest of my body. Should I be worried about this?
