Skin Herpes Pictures Can Look Awful

Herpes can occur on the mouth or the genitals depending on the type of virus causing it. There are two types of herpes viruses—HSV1 and HSV2. The first type is associated with cold sores or mouth sores, while the other type causes genital herpes. Both viruses can be transmitted through physical contact. Hence, if you have skin to skin contact with an infected individual, you can suffer from the herpes.
These viruses are more common than most people believe. In fact, experts think that most people already have the virus lying dormant in their bodies and waiting only for the right opportunity to cause an observable infection.

It’s easy to spot herpes, whether on the face or lips or on the genitals, because the lesions appear quite the same. Even the symptoms are common in two types of herpes. You can go check out galleries of skin herpes pictures to find out what the blisters really look like. Some photos can be disturbing, especially the genatal herpes pictures, which can look really horrid. These photos should be enough to compel you to be more careful because this infection can actually be prevented.

As you may have seen, blisters appear in clusters. The blisters become open sores in a matter of days. This period is excruciating and discomforting for the sufferer. This is also the period when the patient is most contagious. The sores may be present on the gums, tongue, throat, and inner cheeks. Facial herpes is usually marked by sores on the face, usually near the lips and on the eyelids (or on the cornea in a few cases).
