Clinical features
Often a prodrome of itching, dysuria, painful legs and groin prior to ulceration is suggestive of HSV. Painful genital ulceration in the UK is usually herpetic in origin; painless ulceration may be syphilitic - a solitary lesion being suggestive of a chancre and multiple ulcers occurring in secondary syphilis.
