Intrauterine Herpes Simplex Virus Infection Presenting with Hypopigmented Lesions

: Genital herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a sexually transmitted infection that can be transmitted from mother to child in utero, perinatally, or postnatally. Cutaneous infection with HSV commonly presents as vesicles affecting the skin, eyes, or mouth.
