2. Differences between genital herpes and herpes simplex

The causative viruses are different. Herpes simplex virus infection is divided into two types: I and II. Herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) is closely transmitted through the respiratory system, skin and mucous membranes, mainly causing infections of the pharynx, lips, eyes and skin. This type of infection is clinically known as herpes simplex; herpes simplex virus type II (HSV-2) is the main causative virus of genital herpes. It is present in exudates, semen, prostatic secretions, cervical and vaginal secretions that damage the skin and mucous membranes. It is mainly transmitted through sexual intercourse, causing primary genital herpes.

The symptoms are different. Genital herpes first starts with redness of the skin, followed by the appearance of groups of needle-sized blisters, which dry up and form scabs after a few days, and may have pigmentation. Herpes simplex, on the other hand, first causes local hematoma, followed by annular blisters, which break open into shallow ulcers, and then form yellow-white scabs that fall off, and the ulcers last for about a week. Careful identification of the symptoms can reveal the significant differences between the two.
