I don't know where you heard that. If you got herpes from sex, you would have it genitally.
The only time you could expect herpes on any other part of your body is if you are a wrestler - they get a form of herpes called herpes gladitorium.

Thanks for your help. I'm just worried because I had sex about 2 weeks ago with someone I had just met, it was protected however. I heard you can get herpes outbreaks nearly anywhere, not just genitals and your face and this is what I'm worrying about. As far as I know I have no other symptoms that would be considered herpes symptoms. I noticed them Friday, there was more Saturday and now it's Monday and the rash hasn't gone away.
It could be an allergic reaction, molluscum, etc - you need to see your doctor to find out.
