    hi taylor, from this picture i could see a simple infected wound. if you could show more images could be better to identify the problem.

    how long has it been there? Have you ever had this problem before? Was this abrasion born after hair removal?

    regards

    Vera

      it is gone today. It lasted about 4-5 days total . It did appear after shaving . the first day it looked like swollen follicules as each one had a hair sticking out . I plucked all the hair and it looked like this until it healed a couple days later . i have had it happen before after shaving one other time. Never hurts to pee, never ulcers, doesnt really scab...just looks more like new skin healing over. ive been with my bf for 4 years and he swears he is clean but said he will go get tested

      if you can form a complete visual overview of the affected area it would certainly help. From what appears it looks like a post-depilatory abrasion but if you want further confirmation, show some other shots ... (just to avoid a viral form that could act on any type of wound, even if slight in the intimate area)

      Hi vera! I made a post earlier with pictures of my genital irritation and was concerned if it was herpes. My first blood test came back negative and I was considering doing another. You can find the post on my profile. Can you give me a second opinion? I'd really appreciate it

      Thanks
