How do you tell the difference between bed bugs and genital herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not comparable: Genital herpes would show up on genitalia as a vesicle or ulcer, whereas bedbug bites typically have a "breakfast/lunch/dinner" presentation of 3 red/itchy bumps without an obvious central bite mark.
