Herpes simplex is clinically characterized by small unicellular vesicles in clusters of skin and mucous membranes, which mainly occur in the face or genital area and are easy to recur. The pathogen is a virus that occurs mostly on the upper lip or face. Then there was a blister-like bulge, containing a transparent liquid with slight pain, and the scabs healed after a week or two.
