Will HSV1 and HSV2 symptoms be similar?

Will the prodrome symptoms for HSV1 and HSV2 be similar besides the area that it is effecting?

Can HSV1 make your lower body and genital area tingle?

If you get hsv lesions you will know it.
You won't have to look closely to notice them.

Will you be able to less what the lesions are definitely or can they be so small it's hard to tell?  I do feel like my skin is more irritable but besides that nothing to crazy?

My reasoning is tingles are very common in the genitals area. I get them daily. Anyone who is on the lookout for symptoms, this is always the first to be acknowledged. Call it an educated guess. If lesions do not appear a few days after you noticing the sensation then I wouldn't worry.

I doubt you have a genital infection.

They can act the same.
Yes tingling or "crawling" can be an indicator of a pending outbreak. I doubt that is what's going on with you however.

Why do you doubt that?  Where I do have a blister or two on my lips I don't feel any pain or tingling and they are small.  I do feel it below my waist at times in the genital area but knowing really shows or stays?

What you think?
