hello! i am really scared to go to the doctor's to get tested for HSV but i want to know if these pictures resemble an herpes infection? i recently shaved 2-3 weeks ago. i do not use a regular shaver but this one bump that i had a month ago formed crust around it but it never scabbed over.. it literally just went away. i do sometimes feel pins and needles. is that further indication? Please advise.imageimage

    no i don't thing so it would look more like blisters and be extremely uncomfortable. they look more like infected hair folicles.

    Does not present like herpes, looks like ingrown hair. Talk to your pcp and get an igg blood test to be sure.
