so basically i got these bumps about 5 days ago , i had 2 first one on each side and then one of them i think got irritated after i shaved again. but now that hair is starting to grow back i notice the hair growing on top of it . do genital warts do that?? or is this just from shaving!image

    do you have more photos you could upload in the comments? are you sexually active? is there any itching or pain? this could just be irritation from shaving, ingrown hairs or pimples. but they could also be herpes blisters since theyre clustered and look fluid filled...i would make a trip to your local clinic and have them swabbed just to be sure. keep an eye on them and in the mean time i wouldnt shave again.

      just regular type of itching , nothing out of the ordinary . theres no pain really . could herpes take several months to show ? i havent had a new sexual parter for about 7-9 months now . the guy im with didnt f**k anybody else thats for sure .

      you could have the virus for years with no outbreak. Looking at the first photo it looks like hair is growing around it. to me it looks more like a pimple or ingrown hairs than herpes, especially if youre not experiencing any pain. herpes sores can be very painful. sometimes i get pimples after shaving, but just to make sure i would have the clinic swab them since the bumps do look fluid filled and clustered.
