      mine started out in almost the exact same spot, just like a bump. ive had it swabbed and bloodwork done and my bloodwork says negative for any std and hsv. my exposure wouldve been close to a year so my doctor says she doesnt expect the swab to say anything different. she seems to think just an infected hair follicle. of course i googled my syptoms like crazy and completely freaked out. i would get it swabbed and checked just to be safe! let us know!

    I found out I have HSV1 during a yeast infection / PID situation. I picked at the sores, which then got infected. They looked like this around day 3. Hard to say if you never messed with it. Overall, I'd say it is SOMETHING infected. Maybe follicle, maybe herpes sore. Test it to be sure.
