About two weeks ago I noticed three small bumps on my outer labia after a period where it had been rubbing against my pad. They did not hurt, burn, or itch, and after popping one of them it looked like popping a black head. I had a cold, but no flu like symptoms. I do have ohsv-one, but have not had an outbreak for five years. I got a bloodtest and it came back negative for hsv-two, and the levels for hsv-one were very low - I can’t remember what it was.
Both nurses that helped me agreed it did not look like herpes, but possibly folliculitis. I don’t shave, though.
