A member asked:
I have only heard of herpes on the genitals or the mouth. can it appear on other parts of the body, even the chest area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Herpes can occur in any area of the body. It is usually passed through the skin or mucosal surfaces of the body and will cause a vesicular eruption on an erythematous base at the site of inoculation.
