A pimple or genital herpes??

Posted , 7 users are following.

i feel as if this could be genital herpes but i'm not sure! i do have a history of ingrown hairs ,but before taking this picture, there was a few ingrown hair present. anyways, i haven't had sex for approximately 2.5 months & these have been there for a week. state of it hasn't changed. there was a white outline around them but i have very dry skin so i figured thats why! in addition, there was a scab that was present again taking out the ingrown and playing w it ! image

    best thing to do would be to have them swabbed to be certain they could just be infected follicles hard to say as they can look like herpes

    like i said i didnt exactly "see" what mine looked like. but the few i did, yes they did. ALL I know is that THEY HURT! hurt to walk, hurt to go to bathroom etc. but mine was also my first OB (outbreak)

    i also had flu like symptoms with my first ob

    i hope that helps

    it doesn't really look like herpes to me. it sort of looks like ingrown hairs/pimples.
