Help! 99% sure these are just ingrown hairs...but i dont get them often and am paranoid about them being herpes, i just have these two spots. First picture was yesterday, looked like pimples the size of a pencil eraser & second picture is today, no longer swollen, but sensitive to the touch and you can see a hair coming through . They have been uncomfortable rubbing on clothing an underwear and i have just become paranoid. HELP imageimage

    i dont think its herpes, it doesnt look like it, i wouldnt stress it too hard. maybe stop shaving for a while and if they still come back consider seeing a dermatologist or doctor.
