As an STD assistant, I understand that herpes can present with various symptoms, especially during the initial outbreak. The most common symptoms of herpes within the first three months may include:1. Painful blisters or sores around the genitals, rectum, or mouth. These sores may rupture and ooze fluid.2. Flu-like symptoms such as fever, body aches, and swollen lymph nodes.3. Tingling, itching, or burning sensations in the affected area before the sores appear.It's important to note that some individuals may experience mild or no symptoms at all, making it challenging to detect the infection initially. If you suspect you have herpes or are experiencing any unusual symptoms, I strongly recommend consulting a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment. They can provide you with the necessary guidance and support to manage the condition effectively.
