Is herpes painful or does it just itch?

Answer 1

Herpes is EXTREMELY painful.

When I had my first outbreak of genital herpes I was given a pap smear which I bawled through because of the pain. I was prescribed 2 antiviral medications and one antiviral cream and I was also prescribed a pain killer because I could hardly walk or sit down! I missed two days of school and work too because of my outbreak.

Doesn't really hurt me, more itchy and a bit irritating. Hurts in the way one of those pimples that you get that never comes to a head hurts, a slight lump of swelling the size of a small pea and slight tenderness, but nothing else. Tender rather than painful. Nothing that would even make me go 'ouch'. And even the tenderness lasts no more that 48 hours max.

I just had my worst physical outbreak ever, three tiny blisters and a little swelling, noticed a slightly tender patch one day, 12 hours later I had three blisters, 24 hours later they had gone, 2 days after that all healed and fine. For me the worst part physically has been that I occasionally feel a bit fluey with an outbreak. But this is very rare, it has only happened once since the first outbreak.

I got clinically diagnosed with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about six years ago, when I was still attending college and had a stupid one-night stand. I just made a massive mistake that one time and suddenly I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date guys again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone that has sores around her you-know-what? But since a friend shared this video everything changed https://tr.im/curesHerpes2o15QPBO

Not only was I able to clear away all traces of the hsv from my body in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating once more. I even met the man of my dreams. This method provided me the opportunity to be happy and experience real love. Now I want to enable you too by sharing this with the whole World.

There are two main types of herpes. Herpes simplex type1 and type 2. Type 1 is usually associated with the mouth, type 2 with the genital area.

It won't kill you, though it will cause you to break out in blisters. After contracting either type, your body will produce antibodies after six weeks that will stop you from reinfecting yourself, or someone else re-infecting you. So, if you get type 1 of the mouth, during that six weeks, you can re-infect youself while shaving. Or, if you have an outbreak and touch a sore, if you touch somewhere else on your body, such as your genitals, you will contract, genital herpes, type 1. You can also get oral herpes type 2, in addition to type 1, if you perform oral sex on someon with genital herpes type two.
Condoms will not completely protect you from the disease since parts of the body not covered by the condom can rub against the infected individual. Plus, if they are not having an outbreak, you do not know where the infected spots are located on their body. Herpes is a skin-to-skin transmission type disease.
Though it is skin-to skin, it can be transmitted by skin-surface-skin contact. For example, sharing a drinking glass or towel.
Herpes, type 1 and 2, can be passed on to others at any time, whether the infected person is having an outbreak or not. There is no cure, just antiviral medication to help treat/prevent outbreaks.

Answer 8

Are Herpes Itchy

Answer 9

Maybe. However, signs of infection vary greatly between individuals and it is possible for you to show only mild symptoms that are not so easily recognizable as being genital herpes. These may include itching in the genital area, small cracks in the skin around the genitals, or reddened patches of skin in the genital area, thighs or buttocks, or you may have no symptoms at all.

Answer 10

The very first outbreak last for a week or two and is incredibly painful. It burns, throbs, itches, pus-es, it's really awful. After the initial episode, they can happen every month, couple months, or not for years. Usually, they're just really itchy and last a few days. It sucks.
