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?

I'm really worried because my armpits have been burning a lot lately, and I've tried using Aloe vera gel, but now there's a ton of itching. I was considering laser treatment to help with these awful dark spots on my skin, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. What do you think I should do?
