Answer 2

Herpes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Herpes simplex is an infection caused by the human herpes virus (HSV 1 and 2) that is characterized by the appearance of small blisters, especially clustered on the lips and genitals, but which can appear anywhere else in the body. Over time these blisters burst and became open wounds. Brent exhibits these symptoms, indicating that he may be infected with the herpes virus.

Transmission occurs through direct contact of lesions with the skin or mucosa of an uninfected person (which may be transmitted through sexual contact). The human herpes virus can remain latent in the body and cause relapses from time to time.
