Genital herpes is caused by infection with the herpes simplex virus. Genital herpes is usually transmitted through sexual contact, and herpes in the genital area rarely occurs in children. Genital herpes occurs mainly at the site of contact, with clusters of blisters that are thin-walled and easily broken, along with localized burning and tingling discomfort. The lesions may subside on their own after about two weeks, but they tend to recur when the immune system declines. If genital herpes recurs more than six times a year, it is necessary to give small doses of long-term suppressive treatment with antiviral drugs. You also need to take rest, avoid straining, and avoid behaviors that make the immune system decline. If herpes appears in the genital area of a child, it is recommended that it be treated promptly and that it be checked for other diseases.
