I'm going to the doctor later today just to get things checked out. I have a very acute rash that is hardly noticeable in pictures it stings only when it comes into contact with something or if there is friction. there is no discharge or broken skin from what i see it Occasionally itches or gives a tingling sensation. it's been like this for about 4 days and i've scrubbed at with an exfoliating cloth. I also had my first Brazilian wax a few weeks back. I'm not sure if its herpes or if im just bugging. !image

    It look to me like a boil is forming there - you say you had a wax not so long ago so this would explain it - did you have the wax on the area you are showing in your pic?

      It could be a result of waxing - it does not look like a typical HSV to me - let us know what the Dr says

      Hey he said there was no need to swab, it wasn't herpes it was caused in combination of friction of my skin rubbing together, and the hairs growing back. Thank you tons for the reassurance!

      I would agree with this diagnosis - nothing looks suspicious on your photo!
