Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yes, painful genital sores could be due to herpes simplex virus infection (HSV Type 2). It is an STD. The sores in genital herpes are multiple, grouped, superficial, round to oval erosion which may coalesce together to form polycyclic lesions. There may be considerable pelvic pain and swelling. Associated symptoms include burning on passing urine and swollen lymph glands. I suggest you to visit a doctor for a confirmatory diagnosis.

Regards.
