I'm wondering if it's safe to use Dermolite skin brightening formula cream since they claim it's free from steroids and made with natural ingredients like mulberry extract, vitamin E, and kojic acid. My baby is just a month old, and I'm breastfeeding, so I'm kind of worried about whether it might affect my baby. Is it okay to use this cream, especially since I recently had the baby?

I'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.
