so i shaved about a week ago and about 3 days ago these things showed up . they itch really bad thats why im concerned because i dont think razor bumps itch . i havent had a razor bump at all in that area in a long time i shave downwards (with the hair ) at the top of my V and upwards by the bottom . ive been in a relationship for about 6 months now i remember my gf told me she gets cold sores a lot so thats another reason y im scared because i searched up that cold sores are hsv 1 !!! they dont show up as blisters like normal herpes would. i went to the doctors 5 weeks ago because i was having something bad going on down there. the doc told me he was 60% sure it was herpes but i still never went to get the blood test done. but herpes outbreaks shouldnt happen that quick back to back right ?? idk i just need help here someone please image

    HSV 1 is very common .. so you should first relax and stop worrying ... secondly.. your picture doesn't look like herpes at all ...

    it doesnt look like a typical herpes outbreak but while there is sores i would recommend getting them swabbed just to be safe. are they painful? also i would recommend not shaving for a while and throwing out your old razor for a new one it could have gotten bacteria in it. has your gf had a cold sore recently? hsv1 can be transmitted orally to the vagina causing hsv2. if thats what it happens to be its ok. its soooo common and their is medication to help prevent transmission and less frequent break outs.
