How do i know if a genital herpes outbreak is starting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes Outbreak: There is usually some warning nerve signs like itch or pain. This is known as a prodromal situation and one can use this if there are re-occurences so that treatment can be started sooner rather than later.
