Herpes is a common viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Genital herpes outbreaks can cause uncomfortable sores, itching, and pain in the intimate area. While there's no cure for herpes, treatment can effectively manage symptoms and reduce transmission risk.
Types of Warts Affecting the Intimate Area
- HSV-1 Primarily causes oral herpes (cold sores) but can also affect the genitals.
- HSV-2: Most commonly causes genital herpes.
- Common Warts: Can also occur in the intimate area, though less frequent than genital warts.
