I was in the emergency room 2 days ago because I had a sore in my genital area. they didnt test me but told me that it was most likely herpes. that was the second time it happened. the first time was 4 months ago. before I had my first sore I was experiencing my finger itching really bad and bumps were forming. it comes and goes and i am experiencing it right now. I was wondering if I could have got herpes on my finger from touching someone who had it? also if I have herpes on my finger I could get it on my genital area if I touched it. also if I have it on my finger and I touch my daughter she could get it? the doctors in the emergency room gave me a perscription of valtrex and something for my urinary track infection. My genital area is better but my finger still itches and bumps are still forming.
