A site for photos?

Posted , 3 users are following.

I'm trying to compare sores until I hear back from the nurse, but I can't seem to find any photo that aren't "severe" online. Does anybody know a good sight for informative genital herpe photos?

    At the bottom of the first comment/section on HSV symptoms, there is an external link to one woman's photos of her lesions. Not a collection of photos from different people showing lesion variations, but representative of a typical outbreak in women.

      Thank you for that! I also went online and all the pictures there were terrifying! The ones you persented are far more comprehensive.

    Glad you both found that photo link useful! I found it while conducting my own research and thought it very brave and helpful of her to make those photos public.

    Her reason is exactly why you were looking for such a link, btw - there's very little or nothing online that clearly depicts a *typical* GH outbreak, usually only extreme cases, etc.
