I’ve recently found out that someone I’ve had unprotected sex with on many occasions has tested positive for herpes. I haven’t confronted him about it . I’ve had lumps and bumps for a while and put them down to ingrown hairs now I am unsure . The bumps in the pictures are painful to touch and has been like this for a month with it seeming to get better but then worsening again. Please help .

    Same situation girl!! If hair is growing out of them its not likely that they are! How long ago since your exposure to it??

      If you havent shown any symptoms unlikely but its better that you get checked and see. Im in the same situation I had sex with a guy twice unprotected and he tested and found out he had it. It will drive you crazy thinking you might have it so just go get tested! Pm me if you need to talk! Goodluck

    That doesn't look like Herpes, but wouldn't do any harm to get checked

    hi! i am experiencing an almost identical thing, they are almost like pimples - they are a hard bump, then come to a head, drain, heal, then repeats in the same spot. did you find out what it was?
