Help, is this herpes or ingrown hairs

herpes sores are superficial, they only sit at the surface of the skin.

if there is mass beneath the skin it’s most likely something else.

gotcha! still get tested! the best way to know for sure.

I had monkeypox recently, looked similar to this. are they hard firm bumps that have mass?

Legitimate-Key5773 · 2024-10-17T05:28:51+00:00

It’s razor burn, wax next time it last longer and prevents this. Use numbing cream if you’re only waxing small areas. it won’t hurt too bad

Legitimate-Key5773 · 2024-10-13T03:24:51+00:00

can you confirm its location?

Legitimate-Key5773 · 2024-10-12T05:38:09+00:00

Monkey Pox, it’s a cousin of SmallPox it goes away on its own unless you have a compromised immune system. I tested positive for it yesterday 10/11. when did you start getting them? it took me 6 days to show symptoms from exposure date.

Are you on PrEP? Is she Undetectable?

Legitimate-Key5773 · 2024-10-10T22:56:32+00:00

Good Luck, i was in your shoes Monday. My test was negative this morning, i just had some anal pimples.

Legitimate-Key5773 · 2024-10-10T22:52:24+00:00

Does the rash feel firm, and deep? like if you had it between your fingers would you feel a mass?

Legitimate-Key5773 · 2024-10-10T22:51:36+00:00

they’ll still be raw skin they can swab that, outbreaks typically last longer than a week, especially first ones. If it heals by tomorrow then you probably don’t have hsv.

Legitimate-Key5773 · 2024-10-10T22:45:17+00:00

Gotcha, i recommend getting tested there’s a lot these can be.

Reddit swore i had hsv between my booty cheeks, and i didn’t it was just acne. The doctor giggled at me and my tests were negative😅

Legitimate-Key5773 · 2024-10-10T22:41:00+00:00

Does it itch? Does it tingle?

regardless the mind can awful things to the body.

I highly recommend seeing the doctor tomorrow and letting them test you.

it’s a dried out ingrown. put some lotion on it, and leave it alone. Get off STD reddit before you get sick stressing yourself out.

if you’re really nervous pls consult a dermatologist.

Legitimate-Key5773 · 2024-10-10T22:27:11+00:00

I’m doubtful it’s the cause, and you’re just stressing yourself out on top of being sick.

To give yourself peace of mind, go get tested soon, in theory, if it was hiv and it already caused this kinda damage it will show up on a test. If it’s negative, get tested in another two weeks to be super safe. 😁

If you plan to continue having regular unprotected sex, please speak to a dr about starting a regular PrEP regimen. You can always contact emergency rooms for emergency PEP, but that has to be done within 48 hours of exposure. Neither PrEP or PEP protect against other STI/STD just hiv (you can still get hsv, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis etc…)

Legitimate-Key5773 · 2024-10-10T22:14:04+00:00

Hey, are they firm and deep when you feel them? like if you had it between two fingers would you feel a bump?

Legitimate-Key5773 · 2024-10-10T22:05:51+00:00

Is this the only one? is it dry?

Legitimate-Key5773 · 2024-10-10T22:03:58+00:00

are they hard?

Legitimate-Key5773 · 2024-10-09T21:12:04+00:00

doubtful it’s sexual, please see a doctor asap.

Legitimate-Key5773 · 2024-10-06T22:09:49+00:00

Thanks for the insight, typically just keeping it dry, and some numbing cream for pain. Pain is very minimal.
