Herpes outbreak on thigh possible?
I've recently noticed 2 bumps on my left outer thigh and one on the right thigh. Itchy and has 2 small scabs in the centre. I have no goose fleshed bumps just a greenish coloured scab. Question is that if this is herpes in my thigh. Would it look like an actual herpes sore with blisters? I also have one on each thigh. I had one similar before on my thigh. No idea if herpes would present itself the same way on the thigh as on my mouth (where I get them)
odds are these are not herpes related. have you seen your provider yet for a proper exam?
herpes recurrences would not be on both thighs like this.

If it's herpes will it appear in the same spot? Last time it was inner thigh. This time it's outer thigh. Both sides
Hi only testing would confirm if the thigh sores are herpes. I will say that new infections can have them on both sides but recurrent would only be on one side. Have a blood test or have them swabbed within 48 hours after appearing.
