Yesterday I decided to wax myself & began to bleed in this area when I noticed this lesion. I had examined myself 2 days before and saw nothing. I just want to know if this is herpes??

I also noticed this bump underneath it.

I feel well, I do have a UTI but I'm extremely prone to them so I don't think it has anything to do with the bumps.

    doesn't look like it honestly. Looks like maybe a couple spots of folliculitis from the waxing. I'd throw some antibiotic ointment on them. If they clear up quickly I wouldn't worry too much.

    Another symptom I experienced was very watery discharge. I was tested for it (igm) and results showed both hsv1 & hsv2 negative.

    I've read that this test is not accurate so I'm still paranoid.

    Currently feeling a lot of nerve pain all over my body but I don't know if it's just my paranoia or a true symptom.

    igm test focus the virus during the outbreak and where it tops and also the amount. to answer your question no, thats not herpes but could be molluscum contagiosum
