Can I get Herpes on my Thigh?
Dear Dr. Tom:
I have genital herpes and instead of having the outbreaks on my genitals, I usually get them on my right upper thigh. Is this considered herpes too? Also, when I do have an outbreak, I am extremely tired and feel very weak, is this normal? Also, I seem to get depressed and anxious too.
Thank you, Sue
Dr. Tom’s Response:
Dear Sue:
A herpes outbreak cannot be considered normal, but so far as your description goes, a herpetic infection might be expected to manifest itself in the ways you have described. All of the conditions you have listed may be expected from a herpes recurrence.
