Q: can herpes appear on the neck and chin

about a month ago i woke up with a cluster of bumps on the left side of my neck. I scratched them and the next morning there were big whelps instead of bumps and I also had one bump on each eyelid and several bumps on my hands. About a few days later the whelps went away and left my neck discolored from where the whelps were the other bumps on my hands and eyelids went away and also left my skin discolored. I haven't regained all of the color yet but eventually I will get me regular skin tone back. Now the same thing has happened again. This time it's on my chin. Two days ago I had this small bump on my lower chin and i picked with it because it was itching. The next morning there was a cluster of bumps in the exact spot and it was itching even worse. Today, which is the third day of this outbreak, i went to the doctor and he said it looked like the herpes virus. i just got checked for all std's so im sure it's not that.
