A member asked:
Can herpes vesicles have hair growing out the middle of them? or would the hair fall away where the bumps were growing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Let me explain: If the lesion was in a hair-bearing area, folliculitis probably is statistically more likely than herpes. Folliculitis (basically, a pimple) tends to deeper in the skin, like most pimples, whereas herpes lesions are quite superficial, sort of sitting "on" rather than "in" the skin.
