Herpes?

Posted , 4 users are following.

I know that testing is the only way to find out but for now, does this look like herpes?

Day 1 - Pic 1: Raised bump that looked like a pimple

Day 2 - Pic 2: Flattened. Looks pink in picture but did not look pink to eye.

Day 3: It's gone. cant distinguish it from fordyce spots.

No other symptoms. No pain, itchiness, discomfort.... bump one day, gone the next.

Do fordyce spots get inflamed?? wishful thinking, i know.

Do herpes outbreaks always happen in the same spot? I had one of these months ago a couple inches away. Doctor examined and said it wasnt herpes without testing.

      no other symptoms... maybe a slight itch here and there? would a pimple or cyst disappear overnight?

      thabks for the reply!

      i didnt see it pop but it must have. the second picture shows what it looked like after it popped.

      i'm wondering if a herpes sore would be more ulcerated and if it would heal more slowly.

    I had sex a week ago, 2 days after i was in pain but I put it down too rough sex. Then i noticed I had small red spots and urination was painful as it would fall onto them. Today, ive got some pain but no where near as bad as before, Just wanted some advice or reassurance on what it is?

      This happened to me. I ended getting an abrasion from rough sex because we didn't use enough lubrication. The bottom of your vulva actually looks just mine, it's probably from that. It also hurt me to urinate and I had some red spots that developed. Doctor swabbed it for herpes and it came back negative.
