A member asked:

Can you get herpes on ur chest and if so what does it look like?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ziad Akl answered

Yes: Herpes on the body is called herpes gladiatorum. It looks like one or more small blisters close to each other, each 1 mm in size. The area might be red. Later the blisters burst and the area becomes wet and shiny.
