Herpes can be painful and if you do not pay proper attention, they can reappear. They occur due to a herpes simplex virus – HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 is a type 1 virus that affects your lips and face whereas, HSV-2, a type 2 virus which is also known as genital herpes, affects your genitals. Moreover, you should not confuse herpes simplex virus with herpes zoster, the virus which is responsible for chicken pox and occurs once in a lifetime. Herpes simplex virus can occur more than once as the virus particles act as a carrier of the virus for the rest of the life, once infected. HSV-2 is more dangerous than HSV-1 and extra care is required, if you suffer from herpes. Here are some precautions you need to take, if you are suffering from herpes.
