I am sorry to hear that. Sometimes the herpes is localized to the skin, and in others it spreads to other organs. Please follow up with your pediatrician and, if need, be consult with an infectious disease expert.
You are correct in worrying about herpes infection, because herpes in babies could have serious consequences. It is hard to advise you without details, but follow the pediatrician's recommendations for treatment and follow up.
