Hello lybrate-user,
herpes is highly contagious and any part of the body may get affected by it. Yet, it would not be intelligent to think if the lesion has occurred only at one location it may not be herpes as the part most susceptible gets affected first and then the disease may spread further. I would suggest that you consult a nearby physician at the earliest and get diagnosed. Practising safe sex and using condoms while getting intimate is greatly helpful in avoiding to get infected.
