hello,

i have these recurrent bumps on my vagina.

They are painful and offlate have started occurring often, in about 2-3 months once.

Initially, I used to get one or two but this time I have got 6 of them.

I am sexually active and shave frequently.

Is it genital herpes or they're just folliculitis ? imageimage

    i would get them swabbed.

    it may be from shaving but i would be concerned its herpes due to the reoccurence and pain.

      They swell up and get puss filled most of the times or subside randomly.

      Once puss filled they burst open.

      Well then it could be bacterial from a bad razor? Either way if it was me I'd want to get it checked it something abnormal on your body!

      Herpes effects everyone individually. Yes there is a "typical" kind of outbreak but some people don't experience that! My first outbreak was bad with small bumps that turned to large ulcerated areas.. any other outbreak I have had the blister has been tiny.
