    update: so this is what it look like today theyre flat not raised bumps i have no other symptoms besides itching which normally happens after i touch the area in the shower. i noticed 2 hairs on the area so im not sure if this is irritation. at first the first day it started with 2 bumps then progressed to these. i know that herpes secrete liquid and are red around the area they didnt appear in clusters just seperated. i am currently wearing a pad and my job requires a lot of walking which does sometimes rub on the area. there is no crusting on the area. my current partner ive been with for the past 5 months and he has no symptoms of anything. the previous day before i got the lesions we did use lube which was new to me ans being im very sensitive down there im not sure if that was also a possible cause. he did give me oral and he has no symptoms. this photo is from today image

    Hi

    Alot of people tend to be in denial but this is a classic case of Herpes. You'll maybe accept it when you next get a flare up. Herpes don't always conform as Google says they do. They don't need to ulcerate or scab over. This is definitely more than a mild irriation or scratch.

    In relation to your partner, either you have had the virus for some time after contracting it from a previous partner and it has lay dormant, or your partner has it and has gave it to you. Some people are simply carriers and don't show any symptoms.

    Good luck
