I've been concerned because I recently noticed a small white patch near my butt crack area. I'm not entirely sure what it is or if it's something I should be worried about. Do you think it needs a hospital visit, or is it something I can take care of at home?

View allI recently got my serum test results back, and they show my IgM at 0.62 and IgG at 30 on an index where 0.90 is considered non-reactive. I'm not sure what to make of these numbers. Additionally, I also had tests for HIV, VDRL, and hepatitis, and thankfully, those came back non-reactive. Could you help me understand what these results mean, especially about the herpes part? I'm feeling a bit worried and would appreciate any advice or explanation you can provide.
Based on your test results, it indicates that you have a past infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV) as your IgG levels are greater than 30. Since your IgM levels are 0.62, it suggests a recent or current infection. To manage herpes outbreaks and reduce the frequency of recurrences, you can take antiviral medications such as Valacyclovir

I've been dealing with some trouble recently as bed mites have bitten my skin, and I'm even having issues on my penis. I've started using sulfur ointment on my skin, but I'm unsure if it's safe or appropriate to use on the penis. Would you have any advice on how to handle this situation? I'm really concerned about the best way to treat it.
