Genital Herpes
The genital herpes virus is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that is passed from person to person during sex and affects the skin on your genitals.
When you have genital herpes you’ll get outbreaks of blisters on your vagina, penis, or anus, accompanied by an itching or tingling sensation, and pain when you pee. You may notice that these symptoms seem very similar to cold sores, and that’s because cold sores and herpes are caused by the same virus lurking in different parts of your body.
