Help!! Very worried I recently noticed bumps in my Genital area. They do not hurt but feel sore when touching. I don’t know what it could be. I went to a lab for testing yesterday. But I’m looking for a possibilities.

    Without a picture, it’s hard to say.  Definitely could be either ingrown hairs or herpes.  Ingrown hairs hurt, but are more like sensitive bumps that pop like a pimple.  Herpes sores are flat ulcers usually.  Did they do a swab or just a blood test?

      I’m not sure.  I think you may have to do it from a computer instead of phone
