Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Genital herpes is a genital infection caused by the herpes simplex virus.In this infection there will clusters of genital sores consisting of papules and vesicles on the outer surface of the genitals.

These usually appear 4–7 days after sexual exposure to HSV for the first time.The symptoms of low fever and cold for longer duration will not be there in case of herpes genitalia. These symptoms are due to some other viral infection.

Drugs like acyclovir, valacyclovir and famciclovir can shorten outbreaks and make them less severe or even stop them from happening and these drug reduces the pain and the number of lesions in the initial case of genital herpes.
Thank you.
