Is gerpes type 1 bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cold sores: Herpes(i think this is what you mean) type 1 is the main cause of oral cold sores that the first episode is often painful but if he immune system remains strong many times there might not be a recurrence or very few and far in between. If contacted with the genital area it can go to the genital area as well but not very common.
