    it looks like it could possibly be an infected ingrown hair. are you having any pain or other symptoms? sometimes yeast infections can cause sores, but it is typically on the opening of the vagina and or labia. if it turns into an open sore deff get it swabbed for herpes. do you have the HPV vaccine?

      thats good it doesnt protect against all strains of HPV. this doesnt look like anything serious at the moment if it opens up call your doctor. if you are sexually active it doesnt hurt to get tested every 6 months or so just to be safe.

      i feel like i can see it coming to a head which would not be consistant with herpes.the only way to know for sure js to get tested.in the mean time use hot compress on it to try and bring it to a head.
