Question 1

Walked around bare foot and put pj bottoms on and my feet touched the inside part of where my genitals sit can i get genital herpes this way?

Accepted Answer

No. You get this virus by direct person to person contact with open lesions or fluids like semen, vaginal secretions, saliva, and so on. You do not get this by self inoculation.

Question 2

Hi i  am 24 and a herpes patient i  have had a few outbreaks but never this bad i work 8-10 hr shifts how can i hel while being on foot all day?

Accepted Answer

If you get frequent outbreaks, you should consider taking daily prophylaxis (e.g. Valacyclovir) to prevent outbreaks.

Question 3

If sores spread from penis to foot. are those herpes?

Accepted Answer

Usually herpes will reactivate the initial site of infection and rarely travels around the body unless you have severe compromise of your immune system which i assume you don't since you didn't mention it.  Sounds like 2 different processes at work here.

Question 4

I have a blister on the heel of my foot that my dermatologist thinks could be herpes. is this possible?

Accepted Answer

It can happen if someone with active lesion or history of herpes infection touches to your heal area it can make a lesion appear in that area. It got to be skin to skin contact.    It is unusual but it may happen . Usually it occurs when loose or improperly fitting shoes rub against the skin surfaces of the foot. Any rubbing on selected spots of the foot can eventually lead to blister formation.

Question 5

How can you tell the difference between jock rash and herpes? i had athletes foot then got the rash on the inner thighs

Accepted Answer

The rashes look different.  Definitive diagnosis is made by culturing a scraping for fungus .  This will also tell you what type of fungus it is because different ones will have different  characteristics.  Viral culture of a vesicle will prove whether herpes simplex is present.  Put your socks on before your underpants. Many times the underpants touch your toes and bring fungus into your groin.

Question 6
