does gentile herpes come in clusters?

Question

Does cluster of bumps on the but cheek mean herpes?

Answer 1

Herpes: Herpes outbreaks are usually small blisters or a cluster of small blisters that include pain.

Answer 2

Too common!: Herpes type 1, which causes about 80% of oral herpes cases, is considered a universal virus (almost everybody has it). An estimated 80% of adults have had herpes type 1. Genital herpes, which is caused by herpes type 2 about 80% of the time, causes between 500, 000 and 1 million new cases each year. There is no cure, so currently about 50 million americans have had genital herpes.

Answer 3

Herpes: 95% of the us population has been exposed to the herpes virus at one point or another.

Answer 4

Help yes; cure no: There is no cure for oral or genital herpes, but antiviral medications are helpful in preventing or clearing up herpes sores. Topical antiviral creams are somewhat helpful but not as helpful as oral medications. To treat an outbreak, one should start the medication as soon as possible to get the best effect. A primary care doctor can discuss the various treatments and prescribe medication.

Answer 5

Herpes: Unfortunately there is no cure. Once you have the virus, it lives in your nervous system and will periodically cause outbreaks which can be treated with prescription antivirals.

Answer 6

Maybe: Legal issues are very complex. One can do some internet research to see what disease transmissions have been prosecuted in courts, under what circumstances, and with what kind of verdicts. A personal injury lawyer, a district attorney's office, a small claims court community assistant, or other more knowledgeable people may be of help. One might have to prove negligence, intent, damages, etc...

Answer 7

Herpes: I am not an attorney but i doubt there is anything you can do. Herpes is so prevalent in the us (95% of the population has been exposed to it) that it's almost impossible to avoid. Because it's so common, it would be very difficult to prove where you got it from.

Answer 8

Yes: Cold sores on or near the lips are due to recurrence of herpes type 1 or 2. Herpes viruses, after the initial infection, live in a person's nerves and travel down the nerves to the surface to form blisters that break open, spreading more virus. Type 1 is more common on the lips, and type 2 more common on the genitals. With people engaging in oral sex, either type can be in one or both locations.

Answer 9

Herpes: Yes, but a few days before and after rotection and caution is needed.

Answer 10

Not only then: In some situations, the herpes simplex virus can be transmitted without any apparent symptoms or lesions. To be safest, consider using condoms and possibly suppressive drug therapy.
