I have been practicing medicine and helping people with folliculitis and herpes for over two decades.
In this video, I will compare herpes to balanitis side by side:
✓ We will compare two conditions' symptoms. The symptom is what you feel
✓ We will look at the signs for both conditions. The sign is what you and other people can see. It is more objective than symptoms.
✓ And finally, we will go over the history of both, herpes and folliculitis rashes or how those rashes evolve over time.

You deserve so many more likes and subscribers. This has been incredibly helpful. I was really worried but now I'm convinced it's folliculitis based on all the details of this video (I had a buzz cut down below a few days ago!) Obviously I will keep and eye on it, and see a doctor if need be, but this has been incredibly helpful, thank you so much for uploading this.

I'm finally free from Genital herpes after having horrible outbreaks, and felt the same way you describe in your interview. Listening to people testimonials on how your medication helped them overcome HSV naturally, gave me the glim hope I needed to hear.

Dr Igudia there’s absolutely no words to put together just to say thank you, because at a point I felt like giving up on the genital herpes virus, And then I came across your channel, with doubts still purchased his medicine, and now something I thought was impossible has been cured. Thanks doc

Am so blessed for coming across Dr Igudia on YouTube. I contacted Herpes 2 months ago and it’s just barely two weeks of coming across his channel and using his HSV2 remedies, I tested negative. May God empower you doctor, keep saving life
