Stress?: Assuming you are otherwise healthy without concern for immune deficiency or medication side effect; stress is the most common trigger for HSV reactivation (virus lies dormant in nerve root). If there are no obvious stressors, I recommend trying a virtual consult with infectious disease or notifying your physician
