Can herpes spread?
Question:
Answers:
Absolutely. Genital herpes affects the whole genital area. Females can get it all over the outside and inside of their vagina, and around the anus and butt checks. Herpes outbreaks are usually several blisters, not just one or two. And the longer you wait to get treated, the more they spread usually.
The initial outbreak can be really bad, and painful! I was on pain medication, along with Valtrex and Famvir, mine were so painful. Also, herpes is usually diagnosed by a visual physical exam and a pap smear. I've read blood tests can be really inaccurate.
Also, it can take a few weeks for the sores to go away, so be patient.
Good luck!

Yes, and it can spread from person to person the same way. Herpes is a virus that lives in your spinal cord and the degrees of outbreaks can vary and often times depend on your emotional stressors.my aunt has herpes and every time she gets stressed out she has horrible outbreaks. Talk to your doc for indepth details.
"Herpes zoster ophthalmicus" is a viral infection of the eye.It is the same virus that causes chicken pox.While chicken pox is more virulent herpes ophthalmicus spreads along the "ophthalmic branch of trigeminal nerve" and is less virulent.Very close contact like kiss using same soap same towel for face washing may spread it to others who are less resistant, but such spread is very very rare.

you probably have a herpes zoster infection.
unlike the "oral", or "genital" herpes that exist in the ganglia of those 2 specific area, herpes zoster can show up anywhere on your body.
so the answer is --yeas, it does spread.
yes, when the little blisters break that is how they are spread, be sure and wash your hands really good, the dr should have taken a culture of them. i mean with a "cotton swab" and sent them for testing.
