I'm really worried about my hair because whenever I oil my scalp, I get this really sharp pain, almost like someone is pulling my hair. This pain doesnt go away until I wash it off. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about something more serious going on?

View allI've tested positive for Herpes 1, with an igg level of 18 COI, which seems really high to me. I've already done a 7-day course of Acyclovir, but my results haven't changed at all. I'm starting to worry because I've heard there's no cure for Herpes type 1. Can you help me understand why my levels are so high even after treatment, and is there anything else I can do?
A positive herpes simplex virus (HSV) IgG result with a COI of 18 indicates a past exposure to the virus, as IgG antibodies typically appear after the initial infection. While there's no cure for herpes, antiviral medications like acyclovir can help manage symptoms and reduce the frequency of outbreaks. If your symptoms persist, consider consulting your healthcare provider for further guidance.
