There are many herpes symptoms which can be easily identified, if you know what you are looking for. An effective treatment is readily available!

Herpes symptoms will usually start to develop 2 - 20 days after contact with the virus. The first outbreak is usually the most severe as your body has not been exposed to the virus before and the immune system has a limited response. Visible sores are sometimes caused by the first attack. However the symptoms of herpes may be so mild that they go unnoticed. This is a problem which needs to be addressed.

Once herpes has entered the system, it gets into the skin cells and starts to reproduce itself and multiply rapidly, turning the effected area red and causing sensitivity and pain. Blisters or bumps are a common herpes symptom. These blisters will open up, and heal with the skin's tissue regeneration.

Other herpes symptoms can vary from headache, muscle ache, fever to lower back pain, and, commonly, inflamed lymph glands.

Over 50% of people, who have herpes, show no symptoms, are unaware that they are carriers of the disease and are capable of transferring the virus. Herpes is extremely contagious. We need to be able to spot herpes symptoms.

There are many things which are often mistaken for herpes symptoms. Most commonly insect bites, ingrown hair follicles

or jock itch. So perhaps the typical cycle of herpes should be explained further, to avoid complication, and mistaken herpes symptoms.

It is crucial to identify the associated herpes symptoms, early!

Herpes will begin to show the first symptoms of inflammation, swelling or redness. Following this, blisters, a rash, or tiny red bumps may form. These blisters may break open and begin leaking a milky or clear fluid. Once the blisters have broken, the sores may begin to dry up and scab over.
