Small bump in area between my vulva and anus. Wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't for my period and pad irritating me after sitting on a plane for 5 hours. 2 days later after my return flight it had a whitehead. It popped on its own the next day. Swabbed yesterday from doctor and won't get results for few days. Doctor said it didn't look like normal case since it's only one, but had to test for herpes. Please help. Been crying non-stop.

      Still waiting for results. Swab was done on Tuesday afternoon. Thank you so much Caitlin! I feel so alone in this world right now. I can barely look at my kids without crying.

    I'm sorry you are going through this it doesn't look like herpes to me try to not get worked up there is no reason for it and you don't have confirmation it could be nothing.
