Most people associate herpes with a small pimple on their lips. It occurs either at the initial stage of colds, or for no apparent reason. The beginning of everything is a slight tingling on the lips, which gradually develops into an itch. The final manifestation of herpes is a rash of small vesicles. They are located quite close to each other, and sometimes even merge into one. Herpes is a viral disease. Its manifestations are possible in those periods when a weakening of the immune system is observed. This mainly occurs as a result of hypothermia or overheating of the body, as well as various ailments, abortions, inflammatory processes in the genital area and in an unstable physical and mental state.
The occurrence of painful vesicles comes from the effects of a herpes simplex virus infection. It enters the human body through scratches, microtrauma, as well as cracks in the skin, is constantly there, starting from early childhood.
