Herpes & Shingles
Herpes is caused by the human simplex virus (HSV) and can result in painful eruptions around the mouth, nose, and genital area, including the buttocks.
The herpes virus can also cause shingles, the same virus that causes chickenpox. Shingles starts with a painful tingling sensation, followed by the eruption of blisters in a linear or grouped array.
Both viruses are very contagious in their active stage. If you suspect that you have either of these viruses, avoid contact with sexual partners and pregnant women. Call us immediately to schedule an appointment so we may begin anti-viral treatment as quickly as possible.
