Reply To: Possible initial outbreak in nose

[Rockytj]

An additional follow up question: I noticed a small spot on my thigh just above my knee that started off as just some redness and a slight itch, it’s continued to improve, and is now just a red spot, no noticeable blisters (after a week). I thought it might just be an ingrown hair but it’s stuck around a little longer than they normally do (1 week)

Does this sound like it could potentially be autoinnoculation if I was having a primary outbreak elsewhere? I never had blisters anywhere else, but it’s certainly conceivable that I could’ve touched my nose when it was inflamed then scratched my leg.

Also I have had a sore since before my concerning encounter (doctor says likely due to post nasal drip) that has continued, would it be possible to have a primary outbreak occur in my throat, especially if there was already inflammation there?

Thanks
