Any idea what this could be? Picture included.

Posted , 2 users are following.

I'm a hypochondriac so I tend to check things frequently. I was looking around down there when I noticed this open pore looking thing? Its not a cut, ulcer, or anything like that but it looks and feels like a blackhead/clogged pore. Any ideas? Please help! I also get tested regularly and got checked last month- everything came back normal but I would like to hear society's input. TIAimage

    can you post a clearer photo from farther out? when u were tested did you get tested for herpes? herpes is not generally done unless requested.

      I really dont think its herpes, there was never a sore there and it almost looks like a scab from the picture but like I said it feels like a clogged pore and looks like a black head. I just wanted to see what others opinion on it was! Also didnt really know what forum to post on.

      from the photo you posted it looks like an open cut or ulcer which would not be. clogged pore.

      Thats why in the description I put "its not a cut or ulcer" because from the picture it looks like it but IRL it looks like a black head, if that makes sense
