Herpes: If you have a rash, blisters or sores it is easy to find what genital herpes looks like by googling the 'image' of herpes. Herpes sores are painful. They start off as a cluster of blisters. If you have no spots or sores....Then there is a blood test to see if you have the antibodies against herpes.

Yes: If you have a ongoing infection with symptomatic skin lesions/sores you should be examined by a physician. Appropriate viral testing can be done. If you do not have active lesions currently it is possible to determine if you have been exposed to the virus by doing blood tests.
