Abstract
Two serotypes of the herpes simplex virus (HSV) have been identified that can infect any cutaneous site of the body. While HSV-1 most commonly causes gingivostomatitis and a subsequent recurrent labial herpes,[1] HSV-2 is most frequently associated with genital herpes.[2] Both infections are common, and almost all of their clinical presentations are well established. However, the clinical presentation of HSV infections of the hand is less well-described and less known in adults and even lesser-known in the pediatric age group.
