    its difficult to tell. but if it lasted 2 weeks it might just be a hair bump

    I'd try to leave it alone to let it heal up. Since you've had a swab test done and I came back negative it may not be herpes. It's hard to tell by looking at it because you never know. Just get retested in a month.

    update !! so this is what it looks like now . it started as a bump . it got itchy so i scratched it and it turned into several little lesions. it didnt burn upon urination or pus out anything. its just been extreme itching and i shower and keep it dry which caused my skin to be very dry and white but no scabs. ill get a sore/lesion or whatever from scratching then once i feel it healing ill get another almost as if its spreading but i cant stop itching
