Symptoms of herpes
Since you didn't say exactly what kind you were looking for I gave you the symptoms of both genital herpes and oral herpes (cold sores).
Symptoms of a primary (first) outbreak of genital herpes can include:
+ Flulike symptoms, such as fever, headache, and muscle aches. These symptoms usually get better within a week.
Tingling, burning, itching, and redness at the site where an outbreak is about to occur (prodrome).
+ Painful, itchy blisters on the penis, on the vulva, or inside the vagina. Blisters may also appear on the anus, buttocks, thighs, or scrotum, either alone or in clusters. They may be barely noticeable or as large as a coin.
+ Blisters that break and become shallow, painful, oozing sores.
+ Swollen and tender lymph nodes in the groin.
+ Painful urination.
+ Abnormal vaginal or urethral discharge.
Symptoms of cold sores can include:
+ Sore mouth that makes eating, drinking, and sleeping uncomfortable. Cold sores can be painful.
+ Fever.
+ Sore throat.
+ Swollen lymph nodes in the neck.
+ Drooling in small children.

Symptoms of herpes are called outbreaks. The first outbreak appears within 2 weeks after you become infected and can last for several weeks. These symptoms might include tingling or sores near the area where the virus has entered the body, such as on the genital or rectal area, on buttocks or thighs, or occasionally on other parts of the body where the virus has entered through broken skin. They also can occur inside the vagina and on the cervix in women, or in the urinary passage of women and men. Small red bumps appear first, develop into small blisters, and then become itchy, painful sores that might develop a crust and will heal without leaving a scar.
