Question 1

I had a blood test for herpes and my results came back with Hsv 1+2, IgG at 1.6 and IgM at 0.2. Does this mean Im infected? What should I do next?

Accepted Answer

An IgG level of 1.6 indicates a past infection with herpes simplex virus, while an IgM level of 0.2 suggests a low likelihood of a recent infection. This means that you have been exposed to the herpes virus in the past, but it does not necessarily indicate a current or active infection. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and interpretation of these results.

Question 2

Ringworm ...body different part.....used fluconazole, tarabinafine, many cream...using zalim lotion currently

Accepted Answer

Fluconazole and terbinafine are commonly used antifungal medications for ringworm. In addition to these, using topical antifungal creams can also be helpful. Zalim lotion contains clobetasol propionate which is a steroid used to reduce inflammation and itching associated with skin conditions. For better results, continue using Zalim lotion as directed and also consider adding an antifungal cream containing clotrimazole or miconazole to your treatment regimen. Make sure to apply the medications consistently and keep the affected areas clean and dry.

Accepted Answer

Itching in the tailbone and upper buttock crevices can indeed be a sign of a fungal infection, especially if it has not improved with calamine lotion. You can try using an antifungal cream like Livafin (Terbinafine) twice a day for about 2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to help with the healing process.

Question 4

If I'm dealing with hair fall because of seborrheic dermatitis, will my hair grow back naturally once the infection improves, or will I need a treatment like a transplant or specific medication? If no treatment is needed and it can regrow on its own,...

Accepted Answer

Hair fall due to seborrheic dermatitis can improve once the infection is treated. You may not necessarily need procedural treatments like transplants. Medications such as ketoconazole shampoo can help manage seborrheic dermatitis and promote hair regrowth. It may take several weeks to a few months for hair to regrow after the infection has been treated effectively.

Consult your healthcare provider for a proper tapering schedule and further guidance.
