      okay so mine did the same thing but it didnt pop up no where else it was only in one spot and mine was only itching and it hurt when i wore tight bottoms do you think its herpes too?

    get it swabbed if your worried!

    looks slightly bacterial to me maybe from a old razor.

      if i havent had sex since dec 4th it can take that long for them to pop up?

      it can. the virus can stay dormant for long periods of time before your first outbreak

      yeah. its also possible you were having an outbreak before this a didnt realize it. but keep us posted.

      im just confused because my gf gets checked cause she was pregnant an the the last time we had sex was on the 4th an she gave birth on the 5th , just thought if i had it they would have seen it in all her blood samples they took

      thats a common misconception, that when your blood is drawn, if you have it they'll see it, but thats not the case. they cant find herpes antibodies unless they are specifically testing for it with the equipment and chemicals used to test for herpes. so you and her would both have to go request a herpes blood test for both types.
