I have herpes type 2 on my cock, but then last year it spread to become a small dot near my anus. Does this happen often? Answer: Yes, it could happen. Genital herpes lesions can appear anywhere in the boxer short region. That's to say that anywhere the shorts cover, a lesion could appear. The lesion on your anus did not appear because of anything you did. Outbreaks will likely continue appearing on your penis but may also continue showing up on or around your anus.
