Genital herpes or ingrown hairs near Anus??

Posted , 2 users are following.

hello, noticed one of the bumps a couple weeks ago while showering but never looked at it. i examined the area yesterday and noticed these bumps. I am very hairy and sweat alot so i dont know if this is from herpes or ingrown hairs. They dont itch or hurt but have been feeling like mild burning after touching repeatedly. Don't know if its anxiety or what. I am hetrosexual and never been with a man. I have tested positive in Sept for hsv2 at 1.24 index level. the doctors believe its false positive.

Has anyone experienced this?imageimageimageimage

      what type of underwear you you use?

      regular boxers and tight compression shorts at times. im sure its probably from sweating and being hairy. my girlfriend from over the past year just tested negative for herpes too. So im confused
