I think I'm in denial but is this genital herpes or something else?

Thanks for the response,
No they are not painful and they are long gone I didn't get an STD test because I was embarrassed and in denial. It did give me a burning sensation when I went to use the restroom, they didn't a tiny bit dull aches because I kept messing with it.

Go see your doctor immediately and do an STD swab test immediately, while you have the lesions.

Hey thanks for the response,
I think so too but they went away after almost two weeks, I've read MC takes months or even yrs, so it's making me confuse on what it is but the response above me also said it's MC.
