hello, i have this red bump on my pubic hair area. ive never had unprotected sex before nor does it hurt when i pee or any fevers or discharge or any symptoms like that, only bothers me if i apply pressure to it. I have trimmed my pubic hairs before using a trimmer and got a bump similar like this that got big and then sort of went away and turned into the red spot you see in the middle. When i had that first bump i got an STD test at planned parenthood(peed in a cup, blood drawn, and finger picked at) and everything came out negative. I'm just not sure if they tested for herpes or is that what is tested for with the blood test?

I really appreciate any help, its been eating away at me.
