A member asked:
If sores spread from penis to foot. are those herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
probably not: 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.
