Do I have herpes

I found a red bump on me about a week after I had sex. At first I thought it was just a pimple it didn’t hurt it just got irritated when my shorts would rub against it. But then a few days later it turned into a blister like thing so I’m worried it’s herpes. It’s only one I haven’t seen any other ones pop up and it hasn’t bled or oozed anything but it definitely looks like a cut it’s pretty big! I should get it checked out but I’m really nervous so I thought I would just post it here first. I’m not sure how to post pictures on here so once I figure it out I’ll post one

      Make sure to post from either a tablet or a computer, not a cellphone as it would not give you the option to upload media. Check out the attachment below:

    Use a computer - not a phone or tablet. Four icons appear above the reply box. Use the one showing scenery at the far right.

    Hi K, If you shave it could be just and ingrowing hair, or just a hair follicle gone bad, or just a pimple, but as you say your really worried the your local sexual health/GUM clinic could be the place to go, remember STI's and STD's is there field of work. OK
