What Does Herpes Look Like? Signs and Symptoms
Herpes simplex begins as a group of small red bumps that blister.
Itching and burning of the affected area precede this. The blisters begin to dry up after a few days, and
form a yellow crust.
The crust then falls off and the redness slowly goes away. The entire process takes about 10-14 days. Please
see the following phases of this virus.
