well i had unprotected sex like 7 days ago & i had no symptoms of anything until i got a tad bit itchy and i woke up last morning to this weird very small but deep bump, when i pitch it its very thick underneath and it doesnt have pain unless i really press on it. i been monitoring it for a day now and it slightly grown more inflamed but no other bumps. ingrown hair, herpes, or what do you think?

Yes, looks concerning in regards to herpes. Best advice, get into the doctors office and ask for a SWAB test when you have active sores or other herpes symptoms. itching burning body aches fever head ache sores that break open sores that crust over
