Itching and Redness with Genital Herpes

Hi,

I was looking for some help from any in this group who have had genital herpes. I am a male, so that perspective helps but interested from everyone:

In your first/primary outbreak.

  1. How long did itching and redness last before you got blisters?

  2. If you got ill with flu symptoms, did you got the sores right then or after the flu symptoms subsided?

Thank you for your help.
