Are these bumps herpes? I am really confused. Pics included.

I feel like I always have bumps showing up on my vulva. Some have been ingrown hairs but I went to 2 doctors who assured me that what I had at that time was just a sebaceous cyst.

I had a blood test done and I tested positive for HSV1 and negative for HSV 2. The doctor told me that it wasn't a big deal. Nothing about my sex life has changed but I have these now. I have not shaved or waxed in several months to try to see if that was just the typical issue.

I have a single bump and then 2 bumps. I have had them for about 2 days now. The do not hurt but are a bit tinder.

    Hi there

    Seems like you have been tested but still having issues.

    The second picture looks like a HSV blister to me - but pictures are not all conclusive...... are there no other symptoms you are experiencing with these occuring bumps?

      So i don’t experience any other symptoms. It's day 4 and the top single bump has gone down and the bottom ones are still there. No pain or anything else. having tested positive for HSV1 I am wondering if this is what an outbreak looks like in the genital area.
