Can HSV2 only appear in your inner buttock cheeks
I have had HSV1 since I was 2 years old. About two years ago I began having a blister like bump that appears in the crack area of my buttocks. It even appeared outside of the crack are on my tailbone at the start of my crack. (Apologies for explaination) I've never had an outbreak on my vaginal area not rectal. I recently took a blood test that came back with high levels leading to positive results. Can you please explain if this is normal? I've never heard of outbreaks in this area but never on my genitals. Genital herpes should be on the genitals right? Is it possible that I could have spread hsv 1 to that area and if so would it then read an hsv2 result?
This is pretty normal. You can get outbreaks anywhere in the boxer shorts region. Not just the genitals. The virus most probably entered through the genitals.
