Do i have herpes all over?

I recently got diagnosed with Herpes Simplex 2. It sucked, but the only place I got outbreaks were my index and middle fingers. I got the virus 1 year ago and did not know I had herpes until a week ago when I was diagnosed and tested by a doctor. Recently I had an outbreak on my finger and I went to the doctor and he gave me Valtrex. The herpes sores looked like they healed up rapidly, literally in about 2 days the sores were barley noticable. I finished the seven day supply of Valtrex (3 times daily 1mg or 1g or 1 something). After that the herpes continued to fade. Recently however(about 2 days ago), I have had 2 outbreaks that are no longer on my finger. It would appear as though the herpes spread,... everywhere. There are things that appear to be lesions all over my forehead some on my face and all over the top part of my chest. My outbreaks are usually pretty minor, as are these outbreaks, but still the fact that im breaking out all over my face and lips and forehead and chest and even more recently genitalia lead me to believe that I could have possibly spread the virus ALL over my body. My question is, is this likely or even possible?????? If not, what could it be? Also when do you think/ is it estimated that the University of Florida cures herpes? Sorry for so many questions, but I GREATLY appreciate whatever help I can get! Also, I talked to my doctor and he pretty much admitted that he didn't know anything and got me a refferal to see an infectious disease doctor. The appointments not til next week, so whatever help I get today will be appreciated. Also the lesions are not painful but they were itchy/tickly coming in. They also appear kinda puffy in some areas like my forehead. The puffiness gets bigger and smaller throughout the day. But it does appear as though it is herpes. The herpes on my genatalia are not that severe (only a few bumps scattered.) It is not possible that I contracted the herpes on my genatalia as I am a virgin, hence why I had it on my fingers.
