Help -

would you say this is the beginning stages of herpes? its only one bump. doesn’t hurt. i have an appointment on friday.

unfortunately hard to tell as herpes can manifest as a singular bump as well. are there any other symptoms?

Go to the nearest STD testing center immediately and get a swab test with the lesion. Get the full test too.

do you have an opinion on what it could be?

If the bump doesn’t hurt, it may not be herpes. Maybe possible HPV. I am not a doctor. Please go see your doctor while you have this lesion and have them do a swab test as soon as possible or your nearest STD testing center too.

it doesnt hurt. it looks like there might be a hair in there. my ingrown hairs look like this sometimes but its a weird place to have one. i have an appointment tomorrow.

it doesnt hurt. no other spots. i dont have any cold/flu like symptoms.

Make sure you get a full complete STD test. Please practice safe sex all the time. Please give us an update too.
