My daughter could not find her jeans (she is only 10) and she saw mine, which I had just taken off (I had not had underwear on while wearing). She wore to school. I have herpes, usually outbreak above my butt near spine, but hardly ever have them...18 or so days later she has what looks like herpes on her inside thigh. Is this possible?
Hello Thanks for the queryHerpes zoster is caused by varicella zoster virus. Once a person suffers from chicken pox (varicella zoster) infection the virus remain in the body in latent form even when the symptoms subsided. These latent virus becomes active in certain situation and causes rashes in a particular area called herpes zoster or shingles. As like chicken pox the direct contact with the rash can be infectious and may lead to viral infection in a non-immune person. But this illness will cause chicken pox and herpes zoster does not occur directly. So chances of getting herpes zoster lesions after contact with a person who is suffering from herpes zoster is very less. I would suggest you to consult a local physician to make a proper diagnosis and hence management accordinglyRegards
