Dear D.,
I can relate to what youre going through...Like I posted to another person, I get outbreaks in all different places, not just "down there"...I have a couple scars, kinda surface dips, on the back of my hand, from 2 outbreaks last year, and recently I found some prickley red bumps surfacing on my legs, from when I shaved my legs in the shower a couple days ago, now 4 days ago, I noticed a zit type bump on my hairline, only it wasnt a zit, it was one outbreak, and now when i feel near it, its scabbed over, like its shedding, Ive never had any on my head, until now, and I know its from when i massage my scalp in the shower, when im shampooing and conditioning my hair...its sad because there's no way to keep the outbreaks only in ONE area, because they can spread while your showering, or even shaving....Because in the shower, u use your hands usually to massage your skin, when using soap or, u hold a loofah or cloth with lathered soap on it, to clean, but that spreads herpes, because you are "moist" in the shower, and it doesnt just take sex to spread them, a shower is a haven for opportunities to spread the virus, and even break open the skin of old outbreaks, while your showering....so I have heard of herpes on the head, because Im proof of that...And though I havent "read" of head herpes, in one catagory of its own, like genital herpes, or oral herpes, because most herpes dont start right there, like they do on the mouth or down below, I believe a lot of people out there living with herpes have recurrent outbreaks, and new outbreaks in odd places, too, just like on the legs, or fingers/and hands (because of course our hands do get somewhat near and/or on our private regions at some point in our lives) and some people can get herpes on their lower tummy too....it just all depends on what your doing, thats spreading the virus, or where your outbreaks are located....hope this information helps...if u have any other ?'s feel free to post and ill do my best...
