Is this Herpes or something else?
Posted , 2 users are following.
I noticed 3 red bumps about 4 days ago when i was shaving. I thought they were ingrown hairs but when i shaved over them they developed into sores. I immediately thought herpes. However, when i went to the doctors he looked at them and said i had nothing to worry about. As the days went on one of them completely healed while the other 2 remained. Then more of the same began to pop up, but not as blisters before hand just ulcer like right from the start. No other symptoms, such as pain or itching. so i have no idea what is going on but I just want to know it's not herpes I'm scheduled for a test but i figured this wouldn't hurt.

Hi! It definitely looks like ingrown hairs. However, they do resemble HPV warts. I am glad to hear that you're getting tested, that way you can definitely rule things out. This does not look like Herpes though! Hope this helps!

That's understandable. I am glad to hear that it is healing. It could also very well be immune related. Wishing you well in your healing journey!
