Genital Herpes And Pimples - Can A Herpes Outbreak Look Like A Pimple?
By Daniel Herman

It can be very worrying for an individual if they discover a pimple on the their genitals, the first thought is often do I have herpes or some other sexually transmitted disease? Gonorrhea and Chlamydia are also common STD'S that may run through the mind. In this article we take a closer look at herpes and pimples as we answer the question does herpes look like pimples?

The first thing you need to realize about the skin around the genitals is that it reacts in the same ways as other parts of the body that have hair, for example a bearded face. Many people with facial hair develop the odd pimple as a result of the skin being aggravated in some way, whilst some individuals have more severe cases. The same can happen to the skin around the genitals, in fact the pimple may be even worse in regards to pain because there are several nerve endings on the genital skin.

When people develop pimples on the genitals many reach for anti- pimple products that contain harsh chemicals (such as acid), this is not recommended under any circumstances. The chemicals used in these products tend to cause a tingling sensation to the face, however the skin around the genitals is more sensitive and using these products can result in terrible pain.

As mentioned previously most people think they have an STD (like herpes) when pimples occur, and they may possibly be right because pimples can be a symptom of an STD. There is an even higher chance that the pimple is a symptom of an STD if it appears after unprotected sexual intercourse.

The symptoms of herpes include the appearance of pimple like bumps and blisters, whilst syphilis is also characterized by a genital skin rash that may consist of pimples. Genital pimples are often confused with genital warts, because they do look alike, the difference is genital warts are permanent whilst pimples disappear after some time.

Let's take a closer look at herpes and pimples. The symptoms of herpes may include the formation of bumps, but these are not pimples, they are actually blisters. If you do actually have herpes rather than just a pimple then more symptoms will occur such as flu like symptoms if it is the first time you have suffered a herpes attack.

If you notice a pimple or two in the pubic region it may not necessarily be caused by an std, they may be caused by blocked hair follicles, which is the same reason a bearded man can develop pimples on his face.

If other symptoms occur then you may have an STD and you should seek the advice of a doctor. The conclusion of this article is some pimples can just be harmless and they will disappear in a short period of time, whilst some may be the symptoms of an STD. Educating yourself about the common symptoms of STD's can help you distinguish between the two, but the best course of action is to speak to your doctor.
