A member asked:

If someone has herpes and they have an outbreak and can see the blisters or cluster of bumps is it possible for them to have no iching or pain??

Yes, unusual but yes: Pain is subjective in many ways. Each person experiences it differently. If the sufferer is lucky enough to not experience pain- good for them! It's still contagious so protection is essential - even if the sores are not visible, people who know they have it need to be considerate of the ones they "love". Best!
