I had a sexual encounter about a week ago, and during the week I have had this lesion on my upper pubic area. Does this look like it could be herpes

the only way to know is to have a blood test to rule it out it could be herpes or some kind of skin issue

thank you. I also have a scab on my chin that started at the same time. neither of the areas started as sores
