I recently found out I'm HSV1 IgG positive, and I have some concerns. I read that 3.7 billion people are infected with HSV1 according to WHO. I'm not currently taking any medicine for herpes, but I'm wondering if I should start some kind of treatment. Could you give me some advice on whether treatment is necessary or any possible next steps? I'm really looking for guidance here.

How safe is it to take isotroin 20 tablets? I've recently had a checkup and they found I have an inflamed liver. Could this be because of the isotroin tablets? I'm really worried and looking for some advice.

I've been noticing a lot more hair fall over the last month, and its really worrying me. It seems like my hair's getting thinner, and it hasn't been growing as long as it used to. I wash my hair with shampoo every day, but I don't use any oil. Could this be because of not getting enough protein or something else?
