Finding photographs of the typical herpes sores and blisters may be a help to see what may be your problem.

Herpes sores typically appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. The blisters break, resulting in sensitive and painful ulcers (sores) that may take two to four weeks to heal after the first exposure to the virus.

Most frequently, another outbreak can appear weeks or months after the first, but it almost always is less intense, both in the severity of sores, and also in duration.

 Although the infection can stay in the body indefinitely, the number of outbreaks typically to decreases over a period of years

The symptoms of genital herpes usually make themselves known within 2 weeks of becoming infected.
The area infected can include the genitals, rectum, buttocks, thighs, or any other part of the body where the virus could have entered through broken skin.
Small red bumps appear first, soon developing into itchy blisters. Other common symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches, difficulty urinating, vaginal discharge, and swollen glands in the groin area.

While herpes sores do have a charachteristic appearance, if you think you have herpes sores, get them checked out as soon as possible. It's important to be sure that the sores are herpes. The only way to know for sure is to do a blood test, or to collect a sample from an actual sore.

Other serious sexually transmitted dieases may appear to be herpes, but are not, and may need a different treatment.
A proper and accurate diagnosis can not be made by studying herpes pictures. While most herpes simples pictures do look similar, visiting a health care practitioner for diagnosis and advice is highly recommended.
