Question 1

My herpes report came back negative, which is great, but I'm a bit confused about something. My IgM level is 0.1 and my IgG level is 0.4, not at zero. What could these levels mean? Should I be concerned about these results even though the test is negative?

Question 2

I'm really struggling with dark circles under my eyes and would love some advice on what treatments might actually work. Are there any specific things I should try applying? Any suggestions to help reduce them would be great.

Accepted Answer

Dark circles can be caused by various factors such as lack of sleep, stress, allergies, or genetics. To help reduce dark circles, you can try using an eye cream containing Vitamin C and Vitamin K. I recommend using "Cetaphil Hydrating Eye Gel-Cream" twice a day, in the morning and evening. Additionally, make sure to get an adequate amount of sleep, stay hydrated, and manage your stress levels to help improve the appearance of dark circles.

Question 3

I'm noticing a dark ring near my nose and nostrils, and I'm not sure what it is or how to get rid of it. I'm really concerned about it. Could you take a look at the attached pictures and let me know what you think?

Accepted Answer

The dark ring near your nosenostrils could be post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), melasma, contact dermatitis, or skin folds dermatitis, and consulting a dermatologist can help determine the cause and provide personalized treatment.

I'm trying to figure out which Vitamin C would be best for me to use on my melasma. I want something that can be applied topically or taken orally before using sunscreen. I've heard it might help protect against sun damage, but I'm a bit lost on which kind might work best. Can you offer some advice?
