Herpes or ingrown hair? Concerned.

was sexually active about a week ago. few days ago, middle of last week felt a hard lump. I assumed it was an ingrown hair. this past year I’ve gotten several of them due to boxer briefs I’ve had that fit too tight on my inner thigh of both legs. this morning getting ready to take a shower I saw the the bump and needed some additional in put. very concerned.

hey I strongly believe this isn't herpes but a boil that needs to be lanced, if it makes you feel better go get it swabbed and get a igg or igm blood test to make sure. hope you feel better

it burst while I was taking a shower. I really really hope you are right about the boil.

how many of these do you have on you, do you have any other symptoms? (i.e: swollen lymph nodes, fever, or the spots being painful?)

looks like it contains pus im not sure that its herpes

yea lots of pus

that is the only one and it had been there for more up to a full week before busting today. I think I'm suffering from a mild case of folliculitis. like I said over the past 4 months I've had the same thing on my thigh each leg. one hard bump at a time.

not herpes

if u have had them on ur thighs could be molluscum as that contains a cheesy looking pus its als how they can spread to an also via skin to skin contact if u take a look on google at molluscum see if they look similar to wat u have worth going to the doctors even if its not that because they mabe able to give u something to help get rid of it

thank you. will do today
