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

Q: Can I apply mega heal ointment to treat boil. If not please suggest any other ointment.

You can try using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin. Apply a thin layer to the affected area 2-3 times a day. If the boil does not improve or gets worse, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

Q: I have been suffering from seborrheic dermatitis from past five years and had taken almost every type of treatment.

In cases where conventional treatments have not been effective, a prescription medication like Ketoconazole shampoo (2%) can be helpful. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks, then once a week for maintenance. Additionally, a topical corticosteroid like Clobetasol propionate cream (0.05%) can be applied to affected areas twice daily for up to 2 weeks. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

The lump you are describing could be a swollen lymph node, an ingrown hair, or a cyst. To help reduce any inflammation or pain, you can try using over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. If the lump persists or becomes more painful, it is important to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
