Not in pain

does getting genital herpes hurt? ive been feeling this tingly/uncomfortable feeling but im in pain and its been a week and a day since i started feeling the tingling

excuse me i meant in no pain

when the sores come i found it extremely painful and i have both hsv 1 and hsv 2. I dont think 1 hurt as much

herpes is very painful, uncomfortable, and inconvenient. Small painful sores or blisters often present after tingling and burning feelings. If you develop sores that are painless, it may not be a herpes infection. Genital warts or other STIs may also show sores in the genitals. To make sure, you should visit your doctor to test.

thanks for that info lauren! do you remember if that pain happened pretty quickly after feeling that tingly sensation ?

awesome this reeeaaally helped!! thank you jenifer

it all depends on how quick your sores appear. until the sores are there its not usually painful. Mine goes through stages so tingling then can be irritating and itchy down there then just pain. There is some cream that you can get for it to help
