Can somebody tell me if this could possibly be genital herpes? Or anything else?

Nervous that I couldve possibly contracted herpes. Not sure because every picture on the internet is different. Thank you

    Could be, but I can also see a hair in most of them. Did you have sex or receive oral sex within the last week? Best thing is to get them swabbed for herpes asap while they are still open.

    Don't think they're ingrown hairs, as you don't usually get a whole bunch at the same time. Either a bad case of foliculitis, staph or possibly herpes, I would say.

      I'm so so so sorry. That you were diagnosed with herpes. I'm sure your devastated about the news.

      How are you ? How are you feeling? What are you thinking ? Are you going to reach your partner about this matter?
