I got my first Brazilian wax on satruday and now i have bumps.. I have never had a sympton of herpes but i am freaking out that it may be that. My boyfriend and I are going on vacation today and I'm afraid to have sex with him just incase it is Herpes. He does not have it and I would have no idea how i would have contracted it.

    That doesn't look like herpes. But this is your first time getting a Brazilian wax. Are you able to go the doctor today to get a swab test ?

    Tha ts right it does look like irritation or ingrown hair. The only to contract herpes is by sex I believe

    That doesn't look like herpes at all. I'm a nurse, who also happens to have HSV2

    That looks like follicular irritation from the waxing. The hair follicles have been irritated and have formed pimple like bumps. I've also had that exact same issue. Not contagious at all.

    Of course I'm not a doctor and cannot test you but I'm pretty positive you're ok dear.

      HI nurse. How are you? I have herpes type 1 and type 2. Is it normal to take the valacyclovir 500 mg. Everyday ? Or just when I have a break out?
