Hello,
Thanks for the query,

It is true that usually HSV 1 causes oral infection and HSV 2 causes labial infection.

However even HSV 1 can cause labial infection occasionaly.

Please repeat the test after 3 weeks,

You will come to know which strain it is.

Treatment aspect of both is same.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
