Almost ZERO: Relax. If you get herpes on your face be sure to get treated ---pills---ASAP for best result. Most people your age already carry the virus, thus are immune to it. If you want to know you can get a simple blood test to determine if you carry either herpes 1 or 2. It is very common to carry one or both without any symptoms.
