This has happened twice.  I'm very vigilant about my sexual health, and would have noticed anything weird going on down there -- I've never experienced a primary outbreak.  I went to my doctor the last time this happen within 24 hours of it appearing.  He did a visual examination.  He didn't seem concerned and said that it may be a cyst, or something viral (not herpes), but wasn't too much concerned with it being herpes.  It doesn't hurt, except when I touch it.   It looks like hair is growing from it.  I do shave, and I do have sensitive skin.   Help!

      Minds really did not look like any of the pictures on any site.  As a matter of fact it looked more like yours what's I have learned is that so many doctors really don't know. I mercer had tingling just one day what seem to grown hair then turned into this big open cut

    If your doctor isn't worried and you don't feel uncomfortable why do you think it's herpes? Based on your description sounds like an ingrown hair. If you don't have pain, itching or tingling I don't think u should worry. 😉 good luck
