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.

    I really appreciate you making this video. My ex of 7 years cheated and gave me Herpes simplex virus during our relationship and I was devastated. You’ve made me feel so much better doctor Igudia and seeing all these people share their testimonies about your cure.
  • You have always made me believe I can recover from herpes simplex virus and I did. Thank you Dr Igudia for your medicine, your care, your service, your support, most of all your honesty. You are the best doctor I have ever come across.
  • 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. I am glad that there is people like you out there Dr Igho who just want to help other people who are struggling with the same issues. Your words gave me the courage I need to hear today.
  • I do much appreciate Dr Igudia on YouTube for his positive contribution towards curing my Herpes virus, I became a toy in my school, God bless Dr Igudia who provided me with the best remedies.
  • Thank you for examples of the 2.. i had not heard of folliclulikes before.

  • Having you as my Doctor is also a positivity that I don't really have to bother about any sickness or virus, because your Herbal medication for herpes has shown not only me but the world how good your products are and I'll keep recommending you Dr igho.
  • 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
