I have only heard of herpes on the genitals or the mouth. Can it be on other parts of the body, even the chest area?

There are actually 8 different kinds of herpes virus.
Herpes simplex virus 1 are cold sores, herpes simplex virus 2 are genital herpes and herpes simplex virus 3 is herpes zoster (shingles). These are the 3 most common types of herpes.
Your son was probably diagnosed with herpes zoster or shingles. This is usually caused by being exposed to chicken pox. Shingles can appear anywhere on the body, usually just the sides of the body and chest, but it can appear on the face and ears too.

Herpes is any of a variety of conditions characterised by an eruption of small, usually painful, blisters on the skin.
And yes, it can be on other parts of the body.
Most people are infected with one form of herpes virus (HSV1) at some point in their lives, usually in childhood.
So, do not worry. :) Your son will be fine.
