I was bitten by a dog about 13 years ago and didn't get any vaccinations at that time. I've come across some articles suggesting that rabies can appear even 25 years after a bite. I'm really concerned and it's been affecting my daily life. Should I consider getting the rabies vaccine now?

I recently got my blood test results back for HSV 1 and 2, both IGM and IGG serum. The report says HSV 1 and 2 IGM is 0.65 and HSV 1 and 2 IGG is 16.10 CLIA. I'm kind of worried and not sure what these numbers mean. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Physician opinion is advised.

I noticed an oval-shaped cystic lesion in my left temporal region with a long coiled echogenic structure moving inside it, and my doctor suspects larva migrans. I've been taking Bandy plus tablets and the swelling has reduced a lot, but I'm wondering if I should see a worm specialist to avoid surgery. Which type of doctor should I consult for this?
