I'm really worried because I got a positive result for HSV IgG with a range of 2.7. I've had the virus for three months, and it's mainly affecting my testicles, anus, and penis. I'm not experiencing pain, swelling, itching, or ulcers on my penis. I'm just scared and unsure if this is something that can be treated forever. Can you advise on what steps I should take?

I've got this bump that started off small, but after I accidentally scratched it, it got bigger. It's pretty red around the edges and really hurts when I touch it. I noticed there's some pus inside. Is it better to wait until the pus grows more before trying to squeeze it out? Then maybe take some antibiotics? I really want to get rid of this from the root, and I heard draining the pus is important. What should I do?

Yes it has to be drained out,do not squeeze it by yourself, visit surgeon for appropriate treatment
