A member asked:
Is it possible for you to contract hsv in my ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HSV: Highly unlikely. HSV is contracted through direct contact with an active, erupted HSV lesion. It is generally contracted through oral, genital or anal contact. Is this a hypothetical question or do you have a vesicular lesion on your ear about which you are concerned? You may seek a more detailed consultation through HealthTap Prime.
