About 2 weeks ago I had a small patch of very painful blisters pop up on the back of my hand, they worsened with time. I went to the doctors and he took a sample of the fluid in the blisters, I go in for results today and am told they are HSV type 2. He called it coldsores...Internet calls it genital herpes. It's recurrent with the first outbreak just clearing up and another showing up, ON MY HAND. How did I get genital herpes on my hand?? I have a 2 year old and a boyfriend, I don't want them to become infected.
