In August I was diagnosed with Herpes, and my outbreak was pretty bad. I had sores in my cervix, urethra, and some in my vaginal opening. About 1 week ago, I had my second outbreak. This time much much less severe. It was only a small bump on the vaginal lip and was gone within 4-5 days. I know it was a herpes outbreak because I went to the doctor. Now, I have several small clustered bumps on my inner thigh, that release clear liquid and itch. I don't know where that came from. I have not had sexual intercourse between the two outbreaks. My questions are this:
1. I know that herpes is contagious, but is it contagious within your own body? Meaning, if I touched the sore that was on the vaginal lip, and then touched my inner thigh, is my thigh now infected with the virus?
2. Can an outbreak be so close together? It was only a week ago that I had my second outbreak.
Please help, serious answers only please.
Thanks a lot!
