Brief Answer:
Looks like herpesvirus infection or drug reaction
Detailed Answer:
According to the appearance of the rash it looks like either herpesvirus infection or drug reaction.
But you are not complaining of pain and burning and that goes against herpes and drug reaction.
I would recommend you to consult a doctor and get yourself examined clinically to confirm the diagnosis.

How is it affected.
Brief Answer:
Herpes can be transferred, drug rash can recur with the same medicine
Detailed Answer:
If it is herpes it is a sexually transmitted disease and you can transfer it to your partner during the active stage.
If it is drug rash we need to find out the drug causing it as it can recur everytime you take the same medicine and with increasing severity.
