I am having the worst anxiety of my life. I've had this pimple looking thing for like 6 days, it doesn't hurt or anything. I am so scared its Herpes, please give advice or opinions I'm freaking out.

    Hi Kylie, your pictures are too out of focus for me to be sure. But it seems more like a whitehead, so a boil or ingrown hair/inflamed oil gland. Try to not mess with it. Sitz bath and warm compress eill help it drain. Keep it clean with gentle unperfumed soap and antiseptic. Herpes sores don't pop like a pimple.

    okay last post there is two marks now, they are still like pimples basically. Still think its just ingrown hairs? this happened after I shaved for the first time after months of waxes.

    Hi all! I went to the doctor and she told me it is just a cyst, it popped today. I asked her to test me anyway because I was so scared and it was negative. Thanks for all your help!
