Is this Herpes?? Please help asap!

Posted , 2 users are following.

this bump appeared about a week ago after shaving and having unprotected sex. i tried

squeezing it and a tiny bit of white came

out, but that seemed to irritate it and it got bigger. it occasionally itches but otherwise

i forget it's there. im prone to folliculitis but im still worried this could be herpes, etc. image

    hi. i'm not a doctor but i heard that herpes is quite noticeably painful, so if there is not "pain" i wouldn't worry about it. it honestly looks like a pimple to me, maybe an ingrown hair from shaving. wait a few days and see if it goes away. if it doesn't go to ur doctor. i wouldn't worry too much hun xo
