I haven’t had intercourse in 4 months. That  was just before my last std test (including herpes). it was only about 4 weeks after my last possible exposure. The blisters

Have been like this for 17 days now since i first noticed them. Is there a doctor that can tell me if this is herpes.

    To me this just looks like ingrown hairs

      i don’t think it’s ingrown hairs because i don’t shave much in that area. When i noticed the blisters i hadn’t shaved for months prior. Also these blisters have now been here for 18 days.

      Not to frighten you but I would see the doctor have some more tests. Could be ingrown hair, infected follicles, but since they are tightly clustered I would ask for a blood screen for herpes
