Are there any symptoms?
  • Most people with herpes don’t get symptoms, or get such mild symptoms, that they’re never diagnosed
  • Those who do get symptoms may notice tingling, itching or pain on the skin followed by blisters that break and then scab over
  • The first episode tends to be the worst and may include flu-like symptoms as well as painful sores, which can take a few days or weeks to heal
  • There is no cure for herpes and symptoms can reoccur, but antiviral medication can prevent or decrease symptoms
