Hi,

well I initially had genital herpes which really upset me although I
only had a very tiny patch which cleared very quickly but now this
patch has come on my neck and the doctor has given me cream but its
really fighting it.  Just feel a bit fed up really!

Hello,

I wanted to say that there is a condition called Gladatorium Herpes
which is a form of the herpes simplex typically hsv-1. This is called
Gladatorium because it is a form of simplex that sometimes is found on
wrestlers on their chest and neck from close contact. I am not saying
that you are a wrestler, but that it is a possible place to get
simplex. In fact you can pretty much get herpes anywhere on your body.
Generally speaking hsv-1 favors the facial area (lips, chin, nose and
sometimes cheeks or eyes). Hsv-2 tends to favor the "Boxer Short area"
from the belly button to half way down the thigh to the knee. You may
want to be certain that this is really herpes by talking to your
doctor.

Hope this helps,

Al
