Yes Herpes can lay dormant for years in some people! Are you having any other symptoms? Herpes can appear any where on the body and be spread from one part to another! I would advise you not to pop those so called whiteheads and go to the doctor next time they appear so that the doctor can do a culture on them!
Good Luck!

It is possible, though pretty rare, for herpes to remain dormant for 1 1/2 years after the first exposure. But the symptoms you describe do not sound anything like herpes. If you are worried, have your doctor check out these bumps the next time they show up.

Good luck.
