Genital herpes pictures are images of herpes simplex symptoms. People often use pictures of genital herpes outbreaks as a means of determining whether they themselves have genital herpes. This is not a fail-proof strategy, as genital herpes symptoms can present differently in people, and what may appear to be genital herpes symptoms can actually be the symptoms of some other condition. Studying genital herpes pictures is an acceptable starting point for determining whether a genital herpes infection exists, but the only definitive way to know whether genital herpes is present or not is with testing.
