Herpes simplex infection: Herpes is a viral infection that commonly causes contagious sores around the mouth or genitalia. The herpes simplex virus is to blame. Herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2) and other types of herpes are the two main types. Oral secretions or skin sores can spread the HSV-1 virus, which causes oral herpes. Kissing or sharing private items like toothbrushes or eating utensils are other ways it can spread. Cold sores or fever blisters around the mouth or on the face are signs of HSV-1. Genital infections caused by HSV-2/genital herpes can be contracted by coming into close contact with an infected person's body fluids or sores/lesions. Inflamed papules and vesicles on the genital exterior are signs of the sexually transmitted infection genital herpes.
Shingles: It is a viral infection brought on by the varicella-zoster virus, which is also responsible for chickenpox. When someone has had chickenpox, the virus is permanently present in their body. After years, this virus reactivates and causes shingles. The skin may develop itchy blisters or rashes as symptoms.
