Herpes symptoms

 

Herpes symptoms

The herpes symptoms are common in the infections that occur on the face, mouth (orofacial herpes), genitalia (genital herpes), or hands (herpetic whitlow). 

The more severe infections occur in the eye (herpes keratitis) and brain (herpes encephalitis). People with a less or suppressed immune system, suffering from disorders like HIV are more prone to complications of HSV symptoms and infections.

Herpes symptoms

Herpes infection does not have any symptoms or signs in the initial stages so it is unidentified in most people. The herpes symptoms may start from day two to 12 days after the herpes infection. The symptoms may include-

  • Pain or itching- You will have pain and tenderness near your genitals until the herpes cure 

  • Herpes rash- The red bumps and tiny white blisters may appear a few days after infection

  • Herpes blisters- The herpes ulcers are formed when herpes blisters are ruptured and ooze or bleed causing pain during urination

  • Scabs- Skin will crust and form scabs after the herpes ulcer heals.

  • Vaginal discharge is observed in the female genital herpes symptoms

  • Tender lumps are seen in the groin of males as genital herpes symptoms

Other herpes symptoms include flu-like symptoms with swollen lymph nodes in the groin, headache, muscle pain, fever, and herpes lesions.
