Herpes simplex I and II have the same symptoms. The chief difference is that Type I recurs less often. Symptom include an itching, tingling, numb, or burning sensation followed closely by blisters, which may turn white and then erode to leave small ulcers. Typically, these bumps are smaller than pimples and are painful, although someone who's had the infection for a while, or has had the other type of herpes for a while, may have few symptoms and may not even notice an outbreak.
During an initial outbreak in someone without a history of either kind of herpes, there may also be fatigue, body aches, and low-grade fever.
It's important to get tested as soon as possible if you believe you are having a herpes outbreak. It's difficult to confirm the infection after the lesions have started to heal.

All it does is cause annoying sores or blisters on the genitals along with some uncomfortable or pain full symptoms.
