true story
a friend of mine and i years ago use to lay out in the sun. she had a cold sore on her lip. we use to rub tanning lotion on each other's back and legs. after that i started breaking out on my leg. i went to a dermatologist and was told it was herpes virus. i told him my story and he said yes it can happen that way.
i have been married for 18 yrs now and my husband doesn't have it. when i break out on my leg; i cover it with a large bandage. i know that i haven't had any kind of outbreak on my female private parts ever. so herpes travels along the nerve like the shape of a horseshoe. i will break out on the back of my legs and on my butt.
