Not exactly: Any HSV type of genital infection could cause problems farther downstream in terms of neuropathy since the viral particles recede after causing their outbreaks into the lumbosacral ganglia and that could then, lead to problems in other root zone distributions but then, it wouldn't be IDIOPATHIC and you may then, see the same blistery breakdowns you see elsewhere. Other causes should be ruled out.
