Hi, I Was Wondering If It Is Possible To Get

Posted on Wed, 14 Nov 2018

Question: Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to get herpes in your belly button without it having shown any visible signs in the reproductive area? I've had unprotected sex but never had any visible signs of anything. This blister just showed up in my belly button and I'm wondering what it is.

Kindly upload images

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is quite a rare thing to have herpes restricted to just the belly button. It is more commonly a site for herpes zoster rather than herpes genitalis. I request you to kindly upload a few images of the affected area in " reports section " so that I am able to have a look at and guide you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance
