Differences between oral herpes and genital herpes:
Oral herpes is primarily a disease caused by infection with the herpes simplex virus (HSV), with lesions mainly occurring in the mouth and around the corners of the mouth. Genital herpes may be transmitted through sexual contact or result from HSV infection, and its lesions predominantly appear in the genital area.
