What do you think this is? The bumps on my butt started first. A couples of days later I have these!

hi, did these bumps appear after sex ? May be a herpes outbreak. do you have or had flu like symptoms ?

No they didnt come after sex. i havent has sex in 2 weeks now. i shaved and went to the pool at my apartment complex. the next day i had the bumps on my butt. then the next day i had the bumps on my vagina. i thought it was just a bad case of razor burn. i haven’t had any flu like symptoms.

I went to the doc to get tested yesterday. she looked at the spots and said it didnt look like herpes. they just drew blood fir the test. they are painful and do itch sometimes

So the Dr, didnt think herpes ? . How long were you in the pool ? it could be possible pseudomonas folliculitis if the pool was not properly cleaned.

i was in the pool for several hours. there were quite a few people there as well.

this is how it started out

do you have it on both sides or only this side ? when you shaved was the razor old or did you feel like you hit razor burned ? it looks like to me you shaved and the pool water made the area infected. how are you feeling ? itchy ?

i only have it on one side it was a new razor head and i think i moved too fast ans was rough. i did have some itchiness when the hair stated to grow back and some pain as well. i have been to 2 doctors and both say that it doesnt look like herpes to them. my obgyn swabbed one of the spots to get tested just to be 100% sure

hello! did it end up being herpes or some kind of folliculitis? i have the same exact problem and am scared its herpes.

I had this EXACT same thing happen to me. Looked identical from your pics of how it started out, & exactly what it turned into in your later pics. Mine turned out to be a folliculitis infection. But it scared the crap out of me when i first saw it. Thankfully mine cleared up within a week. Same thing. I had just shaved and went to the pool. It can also happen with a razor that needs to be replaced. Wish you the best.
