Last week, after shaving, I noticed some irritation and itchy bumps. My skin is dry and flaky and I still have these red bumps. Is this herpes? Or something else?
to me it looks like ingrowns. I can see hair in center of each one.
Any STD symptoms?
i had a very similar single bump like that, was an ingrown hair but didnt have a cluster. people online said it wasnt herpes, went to a doctor and said it wasnt herpes, id get it checked since its a cluster
but if its after shaving, likely could be ingrown hair!
They were itchy the first few days after shaving, but not anymore. And not painful either.
Okay thank you! I'll make an appt tomorrow
if theres a hair stuck inside it, its an ingrown. those look kind of ulcerated and you have straight hair so ingrowns arent as likely for you. not that you cant have them but just keep that in mind
i would go to the doctor. those ulcers look kinda big to be ingrowns but a doctor could better inspect
ingrown hairs dont ulcerate by the way
looks like infected follicles /ingrowns
