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.

I've heard from a bunch of friends that homeopathy might help with my hair fall. But I'm really curious if it's actually safe to try out these medicines. And if I start, does that mean I have to keep taking them forever?

Alllopathy is advised to the patient.

I've been noticing that the area around my scrotum is getting darker over the past four years. I've been using a razor to clean my pubic hair, and I'm wondering if I can use bleaching on my private parts to lighten the skin there. Could hydroquinone help make my genitals lighter?
