Hi, if your worrying that you are having hsv2 outbreaks on your face, dont as this is extremely unlikely as prefers the genital area. Have a blood test to confirm your hsv status.
And yes herpes would breakthrough the surface and not stay under the skin.
Thank you again. And I was not clear. I have body acne, no face acne. I have had body acne for years. The two questionable spots were on my upper thighs.
They stayed under the skin though so I think you answered my question with the 2nd answer you gave.
Thanks again
