Almost all genital blisters turn into open ulcers after a few days. The soreness does diminish a little but the general ill health continues for 5-14 days.
After about 7-10 days, the ulcers dry up, become crusted and fall off. The entire episode can last 7-12 days. After the initial infection, the virus disappears and goes into a latent stage and may never again cause an infection (if you are lucky).
However, mind you the herpes virus never ever leaves the body and hides inside nerves. When the right opportunity presents, it again reactivates- albeit the pain is a little less this time.
