Pain
On the areas of the sores or blisters, people with herpes might experience some painful sensations. The level of intensity can vary from mild to severe, depending on the number of viruses and duration. This symptom is often the direct result of continued abrasion. In HSV-1 cases, you would feel pain on the tongue or around the teeth. For HSV-2 cases, some areas around the genitals can be affected due to repeated rubbing. Make sure to seek medical attention to get relief and avoid worsening other signs. [6]
