I have a hard bump and I don't know if is HSV2!

Posted , 8 users are following.

So, I was taking a shower about two days ago and I noticed a small pea sized bump on the inside public line on my upper lip. I instantly freaked. It was hard and it didn't hurt or itch. It's been two days, and it looks a little larger, but it still doesn't itch or hurt and I'm not sure I'd it's a cyst or something worse. It's only in one area, and I haven't spotted another that looks like it. It's really hard. I need help because as everyone knows I'm going insane! Could anyone give me their experience of a first outbreak to compare it to?

    My first outbreak, which was a week ago.....my body was aching before the outbreak.

    But when i actually looked down there. I had three small circles i cant tell you what color they where because the doctor had just scratched them so hard to get swabs that they were bleeding, but about 2 days later they became blisters, they had white and where bumps. By the third day they hurt and i felt uncomftble.

    Hi there

    I had exactly the same but mine itched and hurt. I had flu like symptoms and a naralgia pain in my upper thigh into my buttock. I have never had any more anywhere else it always comes up exactly the same place. I had it checked at a gum clinic and it was confirmed as Herpes 2. That was 13 years ago I haven't had much problems with it untill recently its flared up a few times and I have been taken lysine 1000 mg a day plus oregano pure 100% oil rubbed in the bottom of my spine. If it continues to flare up ill take a suppressive anti viril drug as not to pass it on to my new partner. Diet without nuts and chocolate also relaxing and de stress helps.

    Good luck

    That doesn't sound like herpes. I had a bump like that before and I squeezed it and it was like a pimple. It could have been from am ingrown hair getting infected. I wouldn't worry too much , have the doctor look at it.

    If you shave in that area it sounds like an ingrown hair.

    There is an almost identical discussion thread from yesterday regarding a hard lump. You should take a look. In any case, it sounds like a cyst.

    Yeah I started basically the same discussion yesterday. I have the same thing. Hard lump under skin of my outer labia...although I can see it in a mirror even though it's flesh colored (since it's a tad swollen) Itches a little I think from my hair growing in. No other symptoms. I am thinking it's an ingrown hair and will keep an eye on it. Trying warm compresses and Ice and also used some tea tree oil.
