      HSV1 and HSV2 are related but different viruses. One cannot turn into the other. One type can be passed elsewhere, however, but this is unlikely after 4 months of infection, as you should be immune from getting the same type elsewhere.

      I don't think it's herpes on your genitals, because herpes is not usually hard. Also, they showed up at or after 4 months of your initial herpes infection.
