Initial outbreak on the back of thigh recur on cleft of buttock?
My initial outbreak occurred on the back of my thigh. It was very mild. The outbreaks happened maybe 3 or 4 times on my thigh then the outbreaks started to happen on the cleft of my buttock which are also very mild. The outbreaks no longer occur on my thigh.Is it common for hsv2 to occur in either of these areas. I have not ever had an outbreak on my vagina for which I am very thankful.
Absolutely. Genital hsv outbreaks can occur anywhere in the “boxer short” area. It would be a highly unusual place for a primary outbreak but for a recurrence, yes. Have you been tested to know that these “outbreaks” are infact herpes? It is not uncommon for an initial outbreak to be mild or mistaken for something else (yeast infection, uti).

The 1st doctor did a visual test and prescribed acyclovir 800mg 3x a day for 7 days. I had an igg test done in Jan 2018 and the doctor called and said that the test showed that I had been exposed to hsv1&2.
I have read on this forum that shedding occurs between outbreaks from anywhere on the body. I was under the belief that any viral shedding is coming from site of the outbreaks and genital area. So my question is where is the shedding occurring all over or the site of the outbreak?
