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

You can apply a mild corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected areas twice a day for 1 week to reduce inflammation. Additionally, use a gentle moisturizer like Cetaphil lotion to keep the skin hydrated. Make sure to protect your skin from sun exposure by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.

Sounds like you may be dealing with a fungal infection. To treat this, you can use an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole. Apply the cream to the affected area twice a day for about 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to help clear the infection from within. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, wear loose cotton underwear, and avoid tight clothing to help with the itching and prevent further irritation.
