I recently got my serum test results back, and they show my IgM at 0.62 and IgG at 30 on an index where 0.90 is considered non-reactive. I'm not sure what to make of these numbers. Additionally, I also had tests for HIV, VDRL, and hepatitis, and thankfully, those came back non-reactive. Could you help me understand what these results mean, especially about the herpes part? I'm feeling a bit worried and would appreciate any advice or explanation you can provide.
Based on your test results, it indicates that you have a past infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV) as your IgG levels are greater than 30. Since your IgM levels are 0.62, it suggests a recent or current infection. To manage herpes outbreaks and reduce the frequency of recurrences, you can take antiviral medications such as Valacyclovir

I'm Pratik and I've been on a skin fairness treatment for the past two months. The doctors had me use a series of creams like MF Sone, Desosoft, Sudif, Ekran water gel, and KLM AHA. I've noticed some positive changes, but I'm currently just using MF SudiF cream, a face wash, and sunscreen. I'm worried that my skin might darken again. Can I start using MF Sone cream again if that happens? If it's not advisable, can you let me know why?
Kozicure cream for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks , at bedtime ,if any side-effects dermat opinion is advised .
