      no discharge. it does not itch or tingle. when i press on it i feel a little pressure but it doesn't hurt. it feel fairly solid.

      i think its more likley to be a benign spot of some kind like an infected hair follicle do u know how long its been there

      its most probably an infected follicle all u can really do is have it swabbed and tested for herpes but i dont think it is

      thanks kimi. getting it swabbed sounds so scary but i know it's the right thing to do/the only way to know for sure.
