Is this ingrown hair or herpes ????

Posted , 6 users are following.

since summer,when i shave that area ,most of the time(only if i shave it off completely,like from the very root)when my grows out (not straight away in a day or smthn)i have this flesh colored bumps,all together super unrecognizable,but a bit harsh(not super smooth)they start off like a small bump in the exact same area and then turns into these tiny bumps and disappears by itself,a bit itchy,but no symptomps at all,super healthy.I went to doctor and she said i didnt need to get tested cuz it looked all healthy down there,since it only happens in the same spot and only when i shave that spot only,i think its not herpes but just wanna get ideas.I shave my whole down there and i skip that point,so nothing happens,but just when i do shave that spot ,these usually comes when my hair is almost fully grown back

    Sorry, but it looks like herpes. You should have it checked.

      I've seen worse cases which were not hsv ,so it's always better to not be that negative on people who are already nervous

      Really looks like herpes. The 'non-genital' one (I always forget if that's type 1 or 2).

    I concur with the other posters. Most definitely looks like HSV lesions. It is very common for the outbreaks to happen in the same spot.
