疱疹
a viral infection causing painful sores, often around the genital or oral areas, due to the herpes simplex virus
Herpes is a viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). There are two main types: HSV-1, which typically causes oral herpes around the mouth and lips, known as cold sores, and HSV-2, which usually causes genital herpes. Herpes is highly contagious and can be transmitted through direct contact with the sores, as well as through kissing, sexual activity, and sharing personal items like towels or razors. Symptoms of herpes include painful bumps or blisters on the affected area, as well as flu-like symptoms such as fever, swollen glands, and body aches. While there is no cure for herpes, medications can help manage symptoms and reduce the frequency and severity of outbreaks. Practicing safe sex, by using condoms, or avoiding sexual contact during outbreaks can help prevent the spread of herpes to others.
