It depends on where someone may have contracted the virus.

i.e. mouth, lips, genitals ...

That will be the most likely place for the the virus to show up in a rash, bumps, blisters. It will be irritating and itchy.

Herpes is a virus and there is no cure.

Even if there is no signs of an outbreak or symptoms, a person is still capable of spreading the virus. 60% of people don't know they even have it because they display no symptoms or problems.

It depends on which kind of herpes.

Herpes zoster would be found all over your body -- it's better known as chickenpox.

Herpes simplex would be found on your lips or around your mouth -- it's better known as cold sores.

There are several other kinds of herpes that are found on other parts of your today.

It usually starts with a warning (prodrome stage), where you would feel symptoms like itching, burning and or tingling symptoms aroud the affected area. With an initial break out of genital herpes there can also be swelling, flu like symptoms and burning pain when you urinate.

But some people can contract herpes and never have any signs or symptoms of it. If you think you could have herpes then it's best to see a doctor and get tested for it.
