    Looks like irritation from the ingrowns. They may even be hard to the touch from where the fluid has built up under the skin and healing. Pain, oozing, crusting over are classic clinical symptoms. Looks like irritation to me, but we are not medical professionals!! Your doctor will know immediately if its herpes. good luck and please dont stress!!

    Also, have you had a sexual encounter with someone who has herpes recently?

    if you pulled hairs out of them, probably safe to assume not herpes but good on you for getting checked out anyway 😃
