I'm considering trying out either a chemical peel or a skin laser lightening treatment to lighten my complexion a bit, both for my face and hands. There's no medical issue, I'm just curious about brightening things up a shade or two. If I go ahead with this, would you have any idea how much it might cost in Karnataka, India? Also, how much will my skin lighten after these treatments, and how long can I expect the effects to last? I'm just trying to weigh my options and figure out what might be the best approach!

I'm really concerned because about 60 days ago, I had a sexual encounter with protection. However, I just got my herpes antibody test results, and they're showing 3.5 for IgM antibodies and 30 for IgG antibodies. Is it possible that herpes could've been transmitted even with protective sex? I'm also wondering if there's any specific treatment I should be considering.
Yes there are chances of you getting herpes despite of having protective sex,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management
