Hsv2 only but blister on breast??? How??

[Its_Me]

I have hsv2 and was reassured that the HSV1 test was negative. So I noticed a blister thingy on my breast. I'm confused because I thought hsv2 was only in the genitals and buttock area. How could this be? Also if I have hsv 2 and someone rubs my breast (blister) would they get hsv2 from that?

@Its_Me While HSV2 prefers the boxer short region, there is the rare possibility of outbreaks occurring in other areas on the body. There's no guarantee though that the blister on your breast is definitely herpetic. We can and will get blisters in other areas that aren't associated with herpes. Before I acquired herpes, I would occasionally get fluid filled, itchy blisters in random areas that were an allergic reaction of some sort. As a child, I also got scabies, which, too, can cause fluid filled, itchy blisters on any area of the body. The only way to know for certain if your particular blister is herpetic is to ask a doctor. :)
