Genital herpes is a common venereal disease, which is mainly caused by the herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) but can also be caused by HSV-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does it appear?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genital herpes is a recurring vesicular rash of the skin and mucous membranes, usually preceded by precursor symptoms such as itching, burning and stinging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primary infection may include associated generalized flu-like symptoms, such as fever, headache, malaise, and myalgia, occurring 2-20 days after exposure. Lymphadenopathy may also develop during the second and third weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually relapses do not involve systemic symptoms and are less severe than the initial manifestation. In relapse, lesions appear in the same area but are fewer in number and heal faster. Typically, lesions at relapse manifest as clustered papules on an erythematous base, which develop into thin-walled vesicles, ulcers, and then soft calluses. In 3-4 days dry calluses form, which allow healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residual hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation and scarring may occur during healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confrontation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As there is no definitive cure for genital herpes, treatment is aimed at reducing the number of recurrences using suppressive therapy and inducing rapid healing when a recurrence occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, treatment is aimed at reducing infectivity by limiting the spread of the virus, as well as reducing complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
