hey,
the ones closer to your lips do look like healing herpes sores on darker skin. shaving can trigger herpes outbreak.

No ! stop worrying people! it is far from being herpes!!! it's only infected ingrown hairs from a bad shave!!!! stop worrying people, it has nothing to do!

you can see there is deffo ingrown hairs from shaving but what is worrying are the sores closer to her lips. they have the bright red ring and have begun heeling so any swabs taken now wont be accurate.

yes, these are infected follicles from shaving, when you shave badly the hair grows badly and it creates pus balls! lots of women have them. moreover, how can you diagnose herpes on an area that has blurred vision? People here come because they are worried. You will simply say "go to your doctor for safety". But don't diagnose such important viruses without being a doctor!

i'm giving my personal opinon as someone who was diagnosed herpes and i also have darker skin & and had the exact same sores as her. herpes always gets mistaken on darker skin because there isn't many pics on google that show outbreaks on darker skin. luckily @shay90109 there is lots are darker skin examples on here so scroll back a few months on this forum and you'll see the different variations of outbreaks on darker skin

But no! Just because YOU had herpes and A scar looks like yours doesn't mean IT IS herpes! . Just because YOU got that scar doesn't mean it is! a scar, it's still a scar… the way you say it is serious I think, apart from making people anxious with you! there is a way to say it...
I also have the exact same scars! although I do not have herpes, I did NEGATIVE tests and my doctor told me that it was ingrown hairs … but I do not say this kind of thing because MY case is NOT a generality ! and my scars for as much from herpes! your reasoning does not hold water. Just please stop worrying people without being a doctor...don't make such an important diagnosis without knowing anything

Hi lola ,
those aren't scars as they are open sores.

@shay90109 do you have any other symptoms?, swollen lymph nodes in your groin, do you feel unwell, also do you have any pics of when they first popped up? x

my bumps looked very similar although there weren't as many and both the np at planned parenthood and my pcp told me it looked like folliculitis. i can actually see the hairs coming out of most of these!! hopefully the doctor prescribed something for the pain ❤️
