Opinion on Bumps

So I've been to doctors for these bumps that I get around and inside my labia majora/minora. I had a viral swab done in October which was negative for HSV. I had bloodwork done in December which came back negative for HSV2 and positive for HSV1. Then I had another viral culture done in Jan that came back negative for HSV. The last time I had these bumps was about two weeks ago and I have 2-3 again. One is hard and about the size of a pencil eraser. I believe it's a clogged hair follicle. The other two the popped up were on the inside beside my labia minora and had a whitehead. I popped them. One has gone away and one still looks like it has a little pus in it. Should I be worried that it's HSV or should the swab tests be enough to prove that it isn't? I've had several doctors to look at it. Two swabbed it to check and the other 3 ensured me they were just pimples, clogged follicles, etc.  It just seems that I get these bumps pretty frequently. I have no discharge but I noticed that I have some itching and at times they may burn a little.

    Also side note, I cannot remember a time where I have actually had a cold sore. But the doctor who did the bloodwork, for my own anxiety/worrying, assured me that a lot of people have it and never show symptoms.

      Sorry if it's blurry. Sometimes they have a little more pus than that in it.

      They look like whiteheads you would find on your face. Like that. Sometimes with a little more pus.

      I did test postivie for a type of bacteria Eureaplasma, but the doctor still has not called anything in for me. Idk if that could cause them or not.

      Thanks for easing my mind! I do believe I will be contacting my doctor about anxiety medicine. I believe that has played a big factor. Thanks again!

    Based on all the negative assessments and results, I would take that to mean you're negative.

      Thanks! I just always worry about the possibility of false negatives is all.
