A Lowa mother has taken the bold step of sharing heartbreaking images of her one-year old baby son veiled with blisters after he reportedly tested positive for herpes.

According to the Daily Mail, the mother, identified as Samantha Rodgers uncovered that she could not tell who might've infected her son with the virus.

She further added that she was devastated with her son's condition, considering that it is an enduring problem.

She is said to have decided to share the grim photos of her child, with red rankles in and around his mouth, as an approach to caution parents to be wary about who they let close to their infants.

Rogers first took note of her baby's condition a couple of days ago, but specialists dismissed her saying the baby could have contracted a flu or just a mouth infection.

Despite the fact that the virus, which is known to cause mouth blisters, is ordinarily harmless in grown-ups, it is considered to a great degree perilous for infants because of their susceptible immune system.

There was also another incident where an infant died ten days after contracting herpes from a kiss by a female family friend.
