Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes A Red Spot On The Chest Post Intercourse With Herpes Patient?
Hello, I have had sex with my girl friend that has had herpes for a year and no outbreaks and has been on medication. We also have protected sex to add another level of safety. I have a red spot on my chest that came out of nowhere. Could this be a sign of Herpes? Or am I just overacting. Thank you
The possibility of relapse of herpes cannot be ruled out. Herpes virus has a tendency to lodge into nerve roots and lie dormant (even for years). See your clinician.
Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
