Herpes can look like many different things
Symptoms are often fairly mild and unlike many herpes photos on the internet

Do you think that you may have experienced a herpes breakout?
If you suspect that you have herpes and have not had the condition diagnosed it is important that you visit your health care provider as soon as possible for a professional analysis.
Genital herpes can be mistaken for many different conditions and should always be diagnosed professionally.
