Is it possible to get a hsv2 related folliculitis infection on the foot

Is it possible to get a hsv2 related folliculitis infection on the foot

About three months ago I ran into one of my ex's at the store. We talked for a short period of time exchanged numbers again and started seeing each other. About two weeks ago we had dinner at her place. Well I ended up staying the night and the morning she gave me oral. About two days later I had a burning sensation while I was urinating. I got it checked out at an immediate care center and was told chances are its a uti or prostolitis. I took the std test and am now awaiting the results. They treated me with zithromax and a shot of rolephin just in case something came back positive. They also gave me cipro to take twice a day for seven days. The only std that was not checked was hsv2 which is why I am asking this. I now have an infection of folliculitis on my feet. I've heard that hsv 2 can not be related to folliculitis but hsv1 can. I've also heard that hsv2 mostly affects from the waist down. I have had cold sores before so I know I am infected with hsv1 but so is half the population. What I want to know is it possible for hsv2 to be related with folliculitis on your feet or is that more common with hsv1? Is this bad timing or a sign of  hsv 2 infection? Is it possible to get a folliculitis hsv2 related infection before your first out break of hsv2?

you were way over treated when you were seen :(  

folliculitis on the feet has nothing to do with genital herpes. are you sure this is even folliculitis and not a fungal infection or even an eczema type issue?  it's a strange location for folliculitis hence my questions.

just as a fyi - in your age group, only 30% of your peers has hsv1 orally. It doesn't reach 50% rates of infection in the US until your mid 30's or so.

you aren't likely to contract hsv2 from receiving oral sex either.
