Many skin problems can be caused or increased by viruses.
The most common is Herpes Simplex or "cold sore"type lesion which can be almost anywhere on the skin but is most common around the mouth and lips or in the genital areas.
There is no permanent cure for this but there are anti-viral medications,either applied to the lesions or taken systemically,which can help diminish or shorten the duration of the problem.
Of course there are also many other skin problems caused by viruses which are too complicated to go into here.
The dermatologist is a good person to consult if these problems are recurrent.
