Could The Rash Inside The Vagina Of An Infant Be Due To Herpes?
My husband and I both have genital herpes. We have a two year old daugther who up till now has had no issues. I noticed a long red looking sore on the inside of her labia. Could we have passed them to her through hand contact changing diapers? I have been cleaning her good and putting cream but still seems the same it has been two days.

Hi,
Transmission of herpes through hands when both the parents are having it is a definite theoretical possibility. But to prove that whether it is really Herpes requires PCR testing.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
