Herpes is a common viral infection from the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), causing painful blisters or sores, typically around the mouth (oral herpes, often HSV-1, known as cold sores) or genitals (genital herpes, often HSV-2, a sexually transmitted infection), though HSV-1 can also cause genital herpes, and HSV-2 can cause oral sores. Spread by skin-to-skin contact, it’s treatable with antiviral drugs that manage outbreaks but doesn’t cure the lifelong infection, which stays dormant in nerve tissue and can reactivate with triggers like stress or low immunity, causing recurring, sometimes mild, symptoms like tingling, itching, fever, or body aches.
