It looks like the end of a herpes outbreak. Have your doctor do blood work to be sure. If it is herpes, the first outbreak is the worst and yours looks like a mild one. That's how my first one looked and after that it was basically non existent. Years later and I don't see it anymore. I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Everyone and their mom has genital herpes. An estimated 1 in 6 Americans ages 14 to 49 years old have genital herpes from herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), which causes most cases of genital herpes. Try not to worry, get tested. Either way you will live the same life as before.
