hi,
you didn't say where u r having that skin problems in ur body. as per your explanations it seem to be due to hormonal effect of your birthcontrol implants. get a dermatologist opinion , it will do with some soothing creams.HSV will produce genital ulcers[sores]

Hi there.
Positivity for HSV lasts for quite sometime after the acute infection subsides with a lot of waxing & waning.
Which parts of your skin are breaking out? Is it possible to upload photographs online.
Dermatology is a very visual field & as such, it is best you visit a dermatologist near you.
These 'eruptions' will require a skin biopsy to ascertain for sure what the cause if & to take the treatment further!
But Yes, i do think the HZV will have a role to play.
Wish You good health for the future & hope this gets sorted soon. Cheers!
