Herpes, pimple, zit

Hi.
What is the difference between herpes, pimple and zit?
I have the impression that herpes appear in lips area, but the other two can be at any part of the body.
Thank you in advance for your time and help

Have you consulted a dictionary or medical reference? A zit is a slang term for a pimple, which is a pore that is blocked. They are often on the face sometimes on the upper back or upper arms.
