Genital herpes is a chronic, recurrent, and difficult-to-cure sexually transmitted disease caused by the infection of the urinary and genital skin and mucosa with herpes simplex virus. It primarily affects the genitals and perineal area. In males, it commonly occurs on the foreskin, glans penis, and coronal sulcus. In females, it is often seen on the labia majora, labia minora, vaginal opening, and cervical opening. Less commonly, it can also affect areas around the anus, buttocks, and groin.
