Herpes on Thigh
I have HSV1 genitally for about 7 years. I always have my outbreaks in my butt crack (for lack of better words). I noticed a few weeks ago that I had a sore on my right thigh. It went away with out any treatment. Earlier this week I notice the same sore on my outer left thigh. I went to the dermatologist and she said it was eczema. However, she just quickly glanced at it.
1. What are the chances that herpes of the thigh can be confused with eczema
2. What are the chances that my herpes would start appearing on my thighs?
Thank you!

Thank you so much! I appreciate your reply and knowledge. I always get conflicting information when I ask different doctors.
Hi, herpes almost always occurs in the same spot give or take an inch so i would not be to concerned that the thigh irritations are herpes at all.
