Hi,
How are you? Staph infection is bacterial in nature while herpes is due to viral infection. It is possible that there is superimposed infection. With a viral infection, there is also a chance to have a secondary bacterial infection especially if the skin lesion becomes infected. Hope this helps. Take care and regards.
