Herpes – Stages, Tests & Diagnosis

Stage 4

Stage 4 of herpes is characterized by itchiness and the outbreak of scabs. The sores and blisters might get dry quickly and scab over the body. This leads to cracking, itching, or even bleeding. This suggests that you are nearing the end of a flare-up, so do not pick at them. There are some special treatments to help you alleviate the symptoms at this stage. Make sure to consult your doctor carefully before choosing the right option for your condition.
