I've had two herpes scares in the past. I would mistaken ingrown hair bumps for herpes sores. I stopped shaving and still got ingrown hair bumps. I was tested in 2013, results were negative and most recently October of 2015. From 2014 to 2015 had sex with the same one guy. I stupidly had sex with a new guy on April 24th 2016. I haven't had a hair bump since October 2015 when caused me to go get tested. Sometimes the bump would last for a month or two. I noticed a bump, around May 23rd 2016. It felt hard and under the skin but when I looked with a mirror I couldn't see anything. I do not shave so it's very hair down there. Even moving the hair around I couldn't see a thing. About a week or so later, I got a bump toward the bottom of my vagina in the crease of the leg and where pubic hair grows. I've had this one in the past two times before, it's painless doesn't burst or anything simply goes away. The last time it took a month or so. This time it lasted about a week and went away. I then discovered a new bump a couple of days ago in the crease of my leg where my underwear is. It was very small, I could feel it but not see it as well. Today, it is gone and when feeling for it, I found a piece of dead skin with a hair attached to it. Can anyone please tell me if this sounds like herpes? From what I know and what he has told me, he does not have herpes and has been tested but since I don't know how true that is or see the results myself I'm assuming I am at risk. The original one has been here for about 5 weeks going on 6 next week. It seems to be getting smaller because I have to really feel around for it now.

    I also forgot to mention I woke up with a irritated throat about two weeks before discovering the bump. I drunk tea and it went away within hours. I didn't think much of that because if I sleep with my fan on I'll wake up with an irritated throat. I had no fever, I'm always cold, I was cold one night but that's it. I didn't have tingling, I had a little itching all over not localized.

    Can someone please help? I'm stressing out and just want this nightmare to be over. I'm getting tested in about 2 weeks. Because it will be 11 weeks post possible exposure.

    Also when I press on it, it would feel a bit sore and sometimes it wouldn't be sore at all, like on and off.

    It's hard to give you advice , but the best advice from me to you , is to get tested. Do you whole thoart hurt? Are you Itchy down there ?

      Thank you so much for responding! No my whole throat didn't hurt it was like a dry throat irritating feeling when I would swallow. I'm not itchy down there either.

      I'm In a rush so super quick response but I would say that herpes sores after the first outbreak don't typically last long so the spots that are lasting a month wouldn't be typical.
