Herpes: These days 2/3rds of oral herpes is type i and 1/3rd is type ii. Your partner may have given you either type from oral-genital contact with you, causing your scabs and itching. The nature of herpes is that it is going to be a recurrent infection that comes and goes - often from a trigger, like stress or menses. The lesions can happen anywhere in the boxer shorts area and can be frequent or occl.
