When I got the last testing done for 1.09 equivocal I remembered that I may have taken biotin several days or maybe a week before. I got a bit anxious and thought it could have affect my results but when I looked on quest diagnostics tests list that are affected by biotin their test code for Herpes Simplex 1 & 2 isn’t listed. I think it was more than 3 days between biotin intake and the tests, just can’t remember.
Also, I got a lesion in the corner of my armpit that doesn’t itch. It did itch initially when I first saw it, but didn’t after I scratched it. I also had these two tiny bumps with black dot centers, they itched slightly at first but barely. Now they’re looking like ingrown follicles, one of them is already healing. Could hsv2 come present this way, like one lesion in the armpit where the arm and chest meets?
