      it burns no itch but that typically feels like my usual razor burn...this one is different because i had sex after cutting it then shaved over the cut and walked for about 16 hrs for my shift at work...my MD said it looks like herpes but i dont see how this considering my situation be a bad case of razor burn/chaffing/infevted hair follicles

      What did it exactly look like when it started? In some photos it looks like a skin infection. Did you get a swab done?

      Wow im sorry babe. At least the good news is you had a very mild outbreak which is healing quickly. And its crazy how everyone is different bc in your case it wasnt typical sores or lesions. Just looks like a raw area
