Individuals with herpes simplex virus (HSV) experience outbreaks characterized by painful blisters and ulcers on or around the genital area, or sometimes the mouth, depending on the type of virus (HSV-1 or HSV-2). After the initial outbreak, which can be severe, subsequent flare-ups may occur in weeks or months, often triggered by stress, illness, or other factors. The virus remains dormant in the body, leading to these recurrent episodes.
