Is Tingling Thighs And Head Ache A Symptom Of Herpes?
I have had no blistering down stairs just a few dots and about a week and a half ago I had tingling thighs and headaches.. Does this sound like herpes? Oh and now I have like a tiny rash on my cheek it got worse in the sun but now that I m indoors it s almost invisible it just hurts a little.. what s going on ?

Hi,
It is not herpes. It may be prickly heat or photosensitive dermatitis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to apply a soothing lotion like calamine. Take antihistaminics like cetirizine if itching is there. Avoid staying in a hot environment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
