What you mean by virus infection in skin diseases?
Herpes simplex virus can cause two types of skin infections: oral herpes and genital herpes. Oral herpes, also known as cold sores or fever blisters, are small, fluid-filled blisters that form on the lips, gums, or inside the mouth. Genital herpes, also known as herpes simplex type 2, causes similar blisters to form on the genitals.
