Papul-ovesicle:

There are small blisters on the top of the papules. Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the herpes simplex virus. It is a cluster of blisters that occur in the genital area and are prone to recurrence. Primary genital herpes begins with local redness, burning, and mild itching, which quickly turn into rice-sized red papules and quickly turn into blisters. After a few days, they form ulcers, scabs, and pain, and local lymph node enlargement.

Clinical manifestations of primary papulovesicles:

The incubation period is 2-10 days, with an average of 6 days. The affected areas in men are the foreskin, glans, coronal sulcus, and penis. It can occasionally be seen in the urethra, prostate and seminal vesicles; in homosexuals, it can occur in the anus and rectum; in women, it can occur in the vulva, labia majora and minora, clitoris, vagina, cervix, and can also occur in the anus, rectum and urethra. The symptoms of primary infection are often more serious. Before the blisters appear, there is often burning, itching or abnormal sensation at the injection site. Women have increased vaginal discharge, followed by local appearance of light red macules or papules. On this basis, clustered tense blisters the size of sesame seeds to mung beans quickly appear. The blister fluid starts out clear, but gradually becomes turbid or even purulent. The blister wall is thin and easily ruptured, forming a larger ulcer surface, which is painful and more obvious when touched.
