Hello. It’s hard to tell..anyway to shave the spot and take another pic? i think it will be easier to view without hair.

This is smart! Never shave when you might have a herpes outbreak that can spread the infection.

sorry… shaving wasn’t the best idea. I was just focused on getting a better view to determine & didn’t really think it through . like Rachel said get it swabbed and do igg blood test. wishing you the best
