Genital Herpes Pictures
 

When individuals refer to herpes simplex they are primarily concerned with two prevalent types, HSV-1 and HSV-2. There is a common belief that HSV-1 attacks above the waist and is responsible for cold sores, while HSV-2 attacks below the waist and is responsible for the genital lesions. However, both herpes viruses HSV-1 and II can cause herpetic lesions on the oral mucosa and the genital region. Herpes HSV-1 is primarily the cause of recurrent cold sores while HSV-2 are generally responsible for the genital lesions.

Most lesions caused by the HSV-1 are know as cold sores and/or fever blisters. Cold sores are located on the outside surface of the lips, nose, cheeks, chin or possible near the eyes. The lesions are characterized by a prodrome period or the period before a lesion appears when an individual experiences fever, irritability, headaches and a tingling and/or itching in the area where the lesion will appear. A day or so following the initial prodrome period the area will become red and inflamed followed by the appearance of one or more blisters usually found in clusters. These blisters soon erupt resulting in the release of the virus and a grey colored ulcer. The ulcer will eventually crust over and dry up usually without resulting in scare tissue.

HSV-1 infections are tiny, clear, fluid-filled blisters that most often occur on the face. Less frequently, HSV-1 infections occur in the genital area. Type 1 may also develop in wounds on the skin.

The following pictures depict Herpes Zoster lesions:

Herpes zoster, is also referred to as shingles is a viral infection caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox. Individuals that have had chickenpox can later develop shingles. The virus remains dormant or inactive in certain nerve root cells of the body and then secondary to a weaken immune system the virus can erupt. Diseases that weaken the immune system include leukemia, lymphoma, HIV, chemotherapy, steroid treatment, etc. Some 20 percent of those individuals who have had chicken pox will get zoster at some point during their lives. Fortunately, most individuals only have one episode of shingles.

Shingles present as a burning tingling pain or as an area general on one side of the body that is extremely sensitive. The symptoms may be present from 1-3 days prior to the presentation of a rash. The rash soon develops into a group of blisters that look very similar to chickenpox. These lesions can last from one to two weeks. The blisters resolve, however, then pus or dark blood begins to collect in the area prior to them crusting over to form a scab.
