Herpes simplex infection: It is commonly known as herpes, a viral infection that causes contagious sores, often around the mouth or genitals. It is caused by the herpes simplex virus. There are two main types of herpes: herpes simplex virus/HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 causes oral herpes and can be transmitted through oral secretions or sores on the skin. It also spreads through kissing or sharing personal items like toothbrushes or eating utensils. Symptoms of HSV-1 include cold sores or fever blisters around the mouth or on the face. HSV-2/genital herpes causes genital infections, which can be transmitted by direct contact with body fluids or sores/lesions of a herpes-infected individual. Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection, and its symptoms include inflamed papules and vesicles on the outer surface of the genitals.
Shingles: It is a viral infection that is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the virus that causes chickenpox. The virus stays in the body permanently when a person has suffered chickenpox.
