Herpes virus which affects the genital areas, such as the vagina, penis, scrotum, thighs, buttocks, and anus. It can be transmitted by sexual intercourse, oral-genital contact, and heavy petting. Genital herpes causes itching, pain, sores, red bumps, or cuts in vagina, penis, testicles, buttocks, anus, and scrotum. Sores appear in genital areas, starting as red bumps that become blisters that are red and watery. The sores make it painful to urinate. They, then rupture, drip a discharge or bleed, scab, and clear up. Sores, bumps or cuts might seem to disappear after a while, but the virus remains in the body and the sores will recur. There is no cure for genital herpes, but some viral medication can help pain and clear up the sores.
