What type of herpes would present on the palm of your hand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes on the Hand: This is very rare and if you have not been told by an expert then this may be something else. The type of herpes you have on your hand could be either type 1 or type 2. You need a blood test to tell you which herpes you have.
