Hello,

Painful blister-like appearance is mostly of herpes. Thus virus can be in your body for years without causing any symptom.

Genital herpes is different for each person. The signs and symptoms may recur, off and on, for years.

I would suggest you not to break blisters because it is contagious and thus keep recurring. A blood test or a viral culture can confirm this.

Generally, there is no permanent cure for this but antiviral medications might help speed en recovery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
