A member asked:

Can herpes be only one bump?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Martin Raff answered

Herpes simplex: Possible but unusual. Also, a bump is not the usual manner in which herpes presents. It is a vesicle (blister) which breaks down and forms a shallow ulcer that is tender and painful.
