A member asked:
If you have herpes can you get the bumps on your legs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes simplex: The outbreaks most commonly occur in the site of initial inoculation of the virus, but other areas can be involved. Lesions on the legs would be quite unusual but anything is possible, even when dramatically unlikely.
