I have an appointment at Planned Parenthood in a few days, but I'm a nervous wreck. My lymph node in my groin is swollen, the place where the bumps are is a little swollen. It hurts to walk. I've been taking ibuprofen and putting neosporin and acne medicine on it. This literally came up minutes after I shaved. This is a picture from the day after it appeared. Also, I should add that I got something similar (in the same spot, too) immediately after waxing in October.

    Yes love , if it came back in the same spot twice its most likely the virus, just a forewarning ive gotten tested at planned parenthood2 years before i was positive and they gave me a false positive, PP WILL TELL YOU IF YOU HAVE THE SMALLEST AMOUNT OF VIRUS IN YOUR BODY, and not sure if youre aware EVERYONE has some small amount of herpes lying dormant in the body. To get a more accurate reading try to go to the hospital, this way you can be confident if you have it or not. i wish you the best girl

    the way it is swollen, trigger by skin trauma and clustered leads me to think it is herpes.
