Blister: The main symptom for either herpes infection, when localized, are clear blisters that are extremely painful. They last for about a week. While the blisters are active, you are extremely contagious.

Herpes simplex: These may start out as small red lesions that become blisters, rupture and result in shallow painful and tender ulcers. With first outbreak there may be low grade fever and general feeling of malaise.
