    it certainly looks like herpes. i believe the tell tale sign is the red ring round the white part. don't stress. it's really not a huge concern however some people will have you believe it is. its very common and nothing more than a skin disease/infection, albeit contagious. its referred to as an std because it usually transfer during sex but truth is you can get it anywhere on your body. how are you feeling generally?
