I've never done anything sexual and I've never had anything on the mouth that resembles herpes but I've been researching the topic and learned it can be dormant for years and the symptoms are not the same for everyone. I'm paranoid so I have to ask for opinion. I've been having this problem practically every month. Two days ago I noticed two white pimple-like bumps on both sides of my vagina, I was able to pop both of them as they didn't hurt or burn at all, one of them disappeared and there's just a little bit of redness, the other one remained and I was able to pop it again. Not much came out but the discharge was whitish. I damaged the skin while I was popping it and now it looks like a little ulcer, although it doesn't hurt or burn. It completely disappears in 2-3 days. I never had any pelvic pain, burning sensation or abnormal discharge. The bumps are firm to the touch and I only get them in the area pictured. They never ulcerate unless I squeeze the area btw. I am also prone to ingrown hairs (as you can see on the pictures I think) and I wear tight clothing, so I don't know what to think. Do pimples come and go, does herpes appear as a singular bump that disappears in 2-3 days? Please do share your opinion. image

    This is a close-up of the bump that's bothering me. About two weeks ago I had the exact same problem - a white pimple that I popped looked exactly like this cause I squeezed too hard, and it disappeared after 3 days. Before that, same problem. Always one or two, without literally any other symptoms.
