Auto-Innocubation of HSV 1. A few questions regarding HSV 1 virus
Hi I am dignosed with HSV 1 and HSV 2 for about a year with the hospital for blood and urine test.
Q1) I often had very recurrent HSV 1 lesion outbreak. It never affect on my lips, but on my face and forehead and eyebrows. And each time there are a goups of lesions but very small in size and sometimes hardly any lesion. The pain is triggering, a bit of burning sensation and painful. Is it caused by HSV 1? Is it normal?
The outbreak are often triggered by stress and sunlight and working overnight shift.
Q2) As the outbreak of lesions occurs on the forehead which is quite near to the eyes, is it possible that HSV 1 virus will infect my eyes during washing of face or bathing where waters runs from forehead down the eyes?
Q3) Is it possible to auto-innocubation (after a period of 1 year)when i touched the sore and touched other area of my forehead or surrounding areas of the forehead
Q4) Is the outbreak HSV 1 location the same every subsequent outbreak. Will the outbreak location spread to more area? I had been having HSV1 for a year.
Q5) My HSV 1 outbreak occurs almost everyday and without stopping. But i had been continously using H-Balm to curb it, but it relieve the symptoms but keep coming back. Is it due to me working night shift? Is there any medications that can stopped the relentless HSV 1 outbreaks occuring at my forehead, eyebrows, nose area and face. Please Help.

I deleted the second of your three new questions, which was redundant.
Q1) I have never heard of herpes causing recurrent lesions over such a wide area, like the "face, forehead and eyebrows". You need to see a health care provider to find out what is really causing the rash; you may have an HSV-1 infection (if you had an accurate blood test), but I doubt herpes is causing the symptoms you describe.
Q2) Auto-inoculation (spread of herpes to a second body site) almost never occurs in recurrent herpes, even for lesions near the eyes. Auto-inoculation occurs almost entirely during a person's initial HSV infection.
Q3) No.
Q4) As I said above, I am skeptical that you have herpes. But if you do, it will remain localized the the same area with each outbreak.
Q5) This sounds more like acne than herpes. See a health care provider, perhaps a dermatologist.
Your question (in your second thread) about HSV surviving in the environment: The virus can survive on surfaces for a few days, but is never transmitted that way. It really isn't an issue for your safety or other persons in your household.
