The herpes simplex virus can cause what are called "cold sores".\n\n"Herpes simplex is commonly referred to as cold sores or fever blisters. It is a viral infection of the skin that may occur once or return again and again. This is because when the virus is cleared from the skin by the immune system it hides in the nerves and is never completely removed from the body. Herpes infections are very common. It is estimated that nine out of ten people have been exposed to herpes. Many people are infected and don’t even know it. Unfortunately those who carry herpes can spread the disease without even knowing it.\n\nHerpes simplex begins as a group of small red bumps that blister. Sometimes this is preceded by itching and burning of the area. The blisters begin to dry up after a few days and form a yellow crust. The crust then falls off and the redness slowly goes away. The whole process takes about 10-14 days. Scars rarely form. Some people experience just some itching or burning in the area while most people have no symptoms at all."

Have you ever had chicken pox?\n\nThe lump is possibly a swollen lymph node. The human body has several lymph nodes throughout the body, one location would be in the area directly underneath the arm.\n\n\nCheck the rest of your body.....not for other lumps, but for a small cluster of red bumps that look like blemishes. Check your back also. If you have both of these symptoms, it's possible that you have shingles. (Shingles is merely a recurrance of Chicken pox, which is very minor, and will most likely go away without complications.) If you 1. have had chicken pox in the past, 2. have a sore lump in your armpit, and 3. find a small cluster of blemishes (which may even look like small pimples, and may also flake slightly), than you may possibly have a minor case of shingles. \n\nAfter a person has chicken pox, the virus never actually goes completely away, it merely becomes dormant, and stays in the human body, usually located within the spinal column. When the virus re-activates, it culminates in the syptoms I mentioned above, and the cluster of bumps (which doesn't get to far from the spinal cord, which is why i said check your back) is actually a small outbreak of chicken pox. Again, just keep your eyes open, and if the symptoms get worse, have it checked out.

Chickenpox is a common disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), which is part of the herpesvirus family. Although many people associate the word herpes with genital herpes, the herpesvirus family is made up of nearly 100 kinds of viruses, eight of which cause disease in humans. Examples of different herpesviruses are herpes simplex virus (which causes cold sores and genital herpes infections), Epstein-Barr virus (which causes infectious mononucleosis), and varicella-zoster virus (which causes chickenpox and shingles). Varicella-zoster virus spreads in the air through coughs or sneezes or through contact with fluid from inside the chickenpox blisters. \n\nChickenpox, which occurs most often in the late winter and early spring, is very contagious - if exposed to an infected family member, about 80% to 90% of those in a household who haven't had chickenpox will get it. However, immunization of children with the chickenpox vaccine that's now available is expected to decrease cases of the disease dramatically over the next few years. \n\nAlthough it's more common in kids under the age of 15, anyone can get chickenpox. A person usually has only one episode of chickenpox in his or her lifetime. But the virus that causes chickenpox can lie dormant within the body and can cause a different type of skin eruption later in life called shingles, also referred to as herpes-zoster. \n\n\n\nSigns and Symptoms\nChickenpox is a viral infection that causes a red, itchy rash on the skin. The chickenpox rash usually appears first on the abdomen or back and face, and then spreads to almost everywhere else on the body, including the scalp, mouth, nose, ears, and genitals. \n\nThe rash begins as multiple small, red bumps that look like pimples or insect bites. They develop into thin-walled blisters filled with clear fluid, which then becomes cloudy. The blister wall breaks, leaving open sores, which finally crust over to become dry, brown scabs. One of the most characteristic features of the chickenpox rash is that all stages of the lesions can be present at the same time. \n\nChickenpox blisters are about a quarter to half an inch wide, have a reddish base, and appear in bouts over 2 to 4 days. Some children have only a few blisters, whereas others have several hundred. The rash may be more extensive or severe in kids who have skin disorders such as eczema.\n\nSome children have a fever, abdominal pain, or a vague sick feeling a day or 2 before the rash appears. These symptoms may last for a few days, and fever stays in the range of 100 to 102 degrees Fahrenheit (37.7 to 38.8 degrees Celsius), although it may occasionally be higher. Younger children often have milder symptoms and fewer blisters than older children or adults.\n\nNormally, chickenpox is a mild illness, but certain groups of people are more likely to have a more severe illness that could lead to complications. These include infants, adolescents, adults, and people with weak immune systems from either illnesses or from medications such as long-term steroid use. The most common complication of severe chickenpox illness in these groups of people is a bacterial infection that can involve many sites of the body including the skin around the blisters, bones, lungs, joints, and the blood. Other serious complications are due to the virus itself infecting the organs and include viral pneumonia, bleeding problems, and inflammation of the brain (encephalitis).\n\nAnyone who has had chickenpox as a child is at risk for a complication later in life called shingles. After an infection, some of the varicella-zoster virus may remain inactive in nerve cells near the spinal cord. Many years later, the virus can reactivate and resurface as shingles. When it reactivates, it affects the nerve to the skin. Symptoms, such as a tingling feeling, itching, or pain followed by a rash with red bumps and blisters appear only in the area of the skin that the nerve goes to. \n\nContagiousness

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a chronic blistering of the skin. It ranges from mildly itchy welts to severe blisters and infection, and may affect a small area of the body or be widespread. The vast majority of those affected are elderly, but it has been seen at all ages

Infectious mononucleosis (also known in North America as mono, the kissing disease or Pfeiffer's disease, and more commonly known as glandular fever in other English-speaking countries) is a disease seen most commonly in adolescents and young adults, characterized by fever, sore throat and fatigue. It is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) or the cytomegalovirus (CMV). It is typically transmitted from asymptomatic individuals through saliva or blood, or by sharing a drinking glass, eating utensils, or needles. The disease is far less contagious than is commonly thought. Since the causative virus is also found in the mucous of the infected person, it can also spread through coughing or sneezing.

You could do the Herpes Virus, there's Herpes Simplex I and Herpes Simplex II.  You could find pictures too.  It is a very common virus.

A virus that stays in you forever.  70-80% of the American population have herpes simplex virus A.  Evidenced by cold sores.  B and C are more insidious.  B is genital, transmitted through sexual contact, and C is a blood borne virus that leads to kidney and liver damage.  There is no cure but there is an experimental treatment for simplex C.  It involves a year of weekly injections and can possibly erradicate the virus.  Only C is life threatening.  A and B are transmitted only when the carrier is experiencing a flare up.

You are probably thinking of a staph infection.  Staph is a bacterium that can be found everywhere and, when it infiltrates a human system, very dangerous.  I don't know from your question exactly what form the staph infection is taking or whether or not you've sought treatment, but I'd advise you seek a physician's help.  Bumps on the face and genitals caused by staph could be serious.

I'm not a doctor, but I don't think so. Strep is bacterial and herpes is a virus - completely unrelated.

Its the start of viral herpes.\n\nCoach

Herpes virus usually starts with a tingling or itchy sensation and then a outbreak of blisters. This doesn't sound like herpes to me, but you can have it checked by a doctor to be absolutely sure.

I think you mean fifth disease (erythema infectiosum, or slapped cheek disease).  It is a contagious viral illness more common in children than adults. It has a distinctive rash.  It is like a flu and spreads by coughing and sneezing.  Treatment involves rest, fluids, and pain relievers.  It is a virus so has to run its course.
