Herpes Bumps & Lesions - The Early Warning Signs

The most common manifestation associated with the herpes virus is the development of herpes bumps in the infected area. Many negative thoughts and feelings develop in conjunction with the idea that they, or someone they know, may be infected with the herpes virus.
The idea that herpes lesions will essentially destroy a person's future is untrue. People with any factual knowledge of the condition can safely say that although it is an inconvenience, the effects of herpes are essentially minimal, and most people are able to successfully continue on with their lives, even during outbreaks.
The earliest warning signs of having contracted the herpes virus are the development of herpes bumps on the infected area. These small red bumps usually develop approximately two weeks after a person first comes in contact with the infected area of another person. These primary symptoms soon develop into herpes lesions. The lesions generally ulcerate and scab over. The entire healing process, from the first indication of an outbreak until the final scab completely heals, lasts approximately four weeks.
