A member asked:
Can herpes simplex cause rashes instead of blisters?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, classic lesions are blisters, but I have seen it cause anything from rashes to bullae (large fluid-filled blisters). However, it is important to evaluate other causes of rash and not just assuming it would be hsv, as it would be an atypical presentation.
