Blisters on the labia majora are a common symptom of a first episode of a herpes virus infection. A drug reaction would usually present with a more generalized rash rather than localized blisters on the labia majora. Prodromal symptoms occur before the onset of the actual symptoms and would not typically show blisters. Latency period is when the virus is dormant and there are no symptoms.
