What is Herpes?
5. Other Symptoms
Genital herpes can also cause other symptoms in addition to the sores. This includes fever, aches and pains, and a headache. These symptoms will sometimes be mistaken for another disease like the flu to begin with. Swollen lymph nodes are another potential symptom, particularly those that are located in the groin.
The patient’s genital region is also likely to be itchy, and it can also be painful. Small bumps and blisters can also appear in the genital region, and the blisters can result in ulcers if they burst. As these ulcers heal, scabs will also develop in the genital region.
