Herpes :
Herpes is a viral infection caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) and commonly affects the mouth and genital region. Herpes is classified into two types such as oral herpes and genital herpes, based on the area of the body that is effected. The regions of the body that can be infected by herpes virus include genitals, eyes, mouth and face, brain and spinal cord, other organs like esophagus, liver and lungs, and skin on other areas of the body. The significant signs indicating genital herpes include blisters around the genitals which induces swollen lymph nodes, fever, headache, tingling or itching in the genital region within twenty four hours. Oral herpes presents symptoms such as burning or tingling up to forty eight hours before the appearance of blisters on the lips and around the mouth, and skin itching. The management of herpes disease is done by taking antiviral medications.
