Herpes Simplex Virus – HSV-1 & HSV-2

Symptoms of HSV-1

HSV-1 infections are almost asymptomatic or have mild symptoms, making it quite difficult to recognize or be aware of the condition. Some typical signs include open sores or painful blisters around or inside the mouth. Many people with this condition would also have a burning, itching, or tingling sensation before these spots show up. After the initial phases, ulcers and blisters would recur regularly. The exact frequency can vary from people to people. [3]
