An affection most frequent in male adults, occurring in the form of groups of follicles on a reddened base on the glans penis and prepuce in the male and on the vulva in the female. The appearance of the vesicles may be accompanied by enlargement of the neighboring lymphatic glands. The disease runs a rapid course and the vesicles rupture and dry up in the course of five to eight days.
