possibly. would try to get it swabbed asap. or if it heals before then, abstain from sex and go back in 12-16 weeks for blood test. do you have any other symptoms?

no other symptoms .. no extreme burning or itching it feels like a bump and is only itchy if i touch it . im starting to think it might be syphilis my mother is taking me to get checked this week either thurs or fri so hopefully its NOT herpes im only 17 i hate that something like this had happened to me .

i also have a question for you ... do herpes lesions ALWAYS HURT ? ive had this for about 3 weeks now and it has never been painful at all i can post a pic of how it used to look . i also had a little cluster of bumps on my arm idk if that had anything to do with it.

i have read of people having outbreaks that are painless which leads to people not knowing they even have the herpes virus because they just brush it off as something else. the bump in the first pic could possibly be an ingrown? but idk cause ingrowns are usually painful/irritating. but herpes can also manifest as a singular/painless bump. the second one is tricky. ive seen so many people say that they have had outbreaks on their arms, chest, legs. so i guess it possibly could be but of course, not completely sure. were you able to get in for testing?

Yes i went yesterday and i got my throat swabbed , they Took my urine, and drew some blood . As soon as the doctor came into the room, He looked at it and said he looked at it and said and i quote "GIRLLL that looks like an ingrown hair bump" so basically I spent more time waiting on him than him examining me. Anyways they said that if something was wrong they would call. And if they didnt then i didnt have anything or i could call back within 3-5 business days. Fingers crossed

the nurse Also said that the picture I uploaded looked worse than it did in person. I’m not sure if it got better or what but it’s slowly going away. I take 2-3 showers a day and dry the area and apply A&D ointment. she said I could also take a bath in Epsom salts.
