so on sunday i found these little white spots all clustered together on both sides. one side was sore and a little itchy but i think thats from me poking around. i booked an appointment on monday for a swab but the nurse said shes not sure if anything will come back as there was no fluid and i should just monitor them because it might be early stage of herpes. ive been a little itchy but im freaking out image

    how old are you?fordyce spots can appear due to hormonal changes. looks a little irritated bc of the redness, but nothing screams herpes. take it easy and keep an eye out for any changes
