Herpes is a viral skin infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV),

The infection affects areas like lips, mouth, genitalia, and fingertips.

It is highly contagious, spreading through direct contact with infected skin or mucosa, and sometimes even without visible sores.

The infection presents with fluid-filled blisters, fever, chills, muscle aches, and swollen nodes. Symptoms vary from person to person.

Antiviral medications can reduce severity and frequency of outbreaks.
