Herpes HSV 1 genital
I have diagnosed having Genital HSV 1 - 5.5 months ago.
2 weeks ago I have a few red dots and a big red dot (about 1cm diameter) at my elbow. The elbow was swollen. There are white liquid came out from the big red dot and small red dots. I have seen a doctor, he has given me an injection and told me that it is normal skin infection.
Now the swollen has subsided, the wound is slowly recovered.
The question is are all these red dots with swollen elbow are herpes? Can white liquid with some blood came out if those red dots are herpes?
Worried.

sorry to highjack post some but..
is that an actual fact that genital hsv-1 only reoccurs in about half of those it infects and also that outbreaks will only come once a year and then every other year thereafter on average? if this is true then i would imagine that there are tons of people who are infected with this virus, even more than what is assumed because a large percentage of the population has hsv-1 orally and shows no sign... and honestly i've never heard of anyone i know using a condom during oral sex.. so that would mean it is being passed from oral to genital at a pretty high rate and it would seem that pretty soon everyone will have it...
also have you heard of the duke research that was done that they have found something in the genetic build that can bring herpes out of its hiding spot in the nerves when it is dormant and hiding from antivirals? it sounds as if a cure is not too far out of reach.

According to Dr HHH, the recurrence will be only a few centimeters away from the initial episode.
I have seen some threads talking about the recurrence can be anywhere around the boxer area.
I believe most of the initial episode is somewhere at the penis. How can the recurrence goes to anywhere around the boxer area?

There is no predicting what a partner's initial episode would be like. It has nothing to do with the particular strain of herpes, it has to do with how their body acts when infected.

Thanks Grace.
If my inital episode is very mild and not severe. If I pass the virus to someone, her inital episode will be the same as well? Mild?

No, I don't think your red dots have anything to do with herpes. Hsv1 genitally hardly ever reoccurs.
