A doctor has provided 1 answer

See answer: HSV-type 1 commonly causes fever blisters on the mouth or face (oral herpes), while HSV-type 2 typically affects the genital area (genital herpes). However, both viral types can cause either genital or oral infections. Self-transmission of HSV (auto-inoculation) of HSV to another body part rare and almost entirely limited to initial herpes infection - within few weeks after virus first acquired.
