    too early to tell. From the pix, it looks like ingrown hair. but I'm not a doc, so go get it checked out.

      i actually seen a dr the day before this post and they did a pelvic exam along with examining the outside of my vagina. They didnt mention anything. Although i got tested for vaginal infections and std im pretty sure hsv wasnt included in the swab. If you dont mind me asking what do herpes start off like in the beginning?

    Doesn't really look like herpes (yet). Does it burn, tingle, itch?

    UPDATE

    If anyone comes across my post and have similarities with my pictures and symptoms maybe this can help you out. After multiple gyn visits and examinations each time i was told it looked normal. Finally decided to get tested for it along w getting examined to see if i was able to swabbed along with blood test. Examination dr said what i have is normal(little bumps) and there was nothing to swab. Blood test for hsv2 came back negative at a .07 . Finally No more anxiety, constant google searches & etc.

    Everyone save yourself the headache and just get tested !
