Does this look like Herpes? Or ingrown hair bumps

Posted , 5 users are following.

Does this look like genital herpes??? It started out as 1 bump the bigger one it was hard underneath and very itchy and then it became very painful. I kept messing with it scratching it and I popped it and pus came out. I originally thought it was an ingrown hair but then the second one popped up and now I'm super nervous. It doesn't look anything like the herpes pictures I have seen online but I am very scared. I have not gone to the doctor yet but I plan on going soon to get tested but I was hoping I could get an opinion on here first.

    When I popped it yellowish pus came out that eventually turned clear. I read online that yellow and clear pus = bad. So it really might be herpes?

    This is an updated picture if the bumps. They don't hurt unless a lot of pressure is applied to them, but they itch like crazy sometimes. The smaller one is not having a little bit of pus come out of it. Can I get more opinions on this please?

    Closer view of the bumps. They feel raised to the touch and as I said before are not painful, just itchy. They are red because I had been messing with them
