I was recently told I had genital herpes but have yet to have any tests done, and my boyfriend is negative. I am usually prone to bacterial infections on the skin and am a MRSA carrier. What other possibilities could explain my symptoms, and what tests should I get to confirm the diagnosis?

I have had equivocal results on my previous UREA breath tests and fecal tests, and I've had to take antibiotics twice, which has delayed my ability to retest. Can I do a blood test for Helicobacter pylori while on antibiotics, or should I proceed with the UREA breath test despite being on antibiotics?

I have been diagnosed with hyperhidrosis and athlete's feet, and my feet sweat all the time, causing them to smell and get athlete's feet frequently. I've tried various treatments like Lamisil, Tinactin, and Defense Body Wipes with tea tree oil, but nothing seems to help. I've also seen a dermatologist at the Veterans Administration who prescribed Ketoconazole 2% and Selsun Blue, but the condition persists. I have PTSD and find it very difficult to go out in public and interact. What else can be done to treat my athlete's feet, especially given my hyperhidrosis and mild liver enzyme elevation likely due to fatty liver?
