Is It Possible For HSV 2 Infection To Reoccur?

I was diagnosed with HSV2 about 10 years ago & my few outbreaks have always been in the same area of my left outer labia. This morning I woke to a small cluster of blisters above my left nipple. Is it possible to have another outbreak in another part of my body?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

Yes, the unique feature of the virus is that it will cause recurrences. If your disease is very much frequent, you could go for suppressive therapy under the guidance of your dermatologist. According to me, you must consult your Dermatologist for confirming the diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
