Herpes flare ups will typically show up in the same spot year over year and never spread to new locations. Why is that?

Herpes flare ups occur when the virus is reactivated from a dormant state. This usually happens when the body’s immune system is weakened or when the person is under stress. The virus tends to remain in the same spot because once it has been reactivated, it replicates in the same location and can remain dormant there until it is reactivated again.
