Question 1

What happens when you pop a herpes bump? and what does it look like when they've popped.. does blood come out? or pus? idk

Accepted Answer

Blood,pus,fluid....anything can come out depending on the stage of the lesions.

Question 2

I shaved 8 days ago. the next day i woke up to reddish bumps that were oozing white pus. i popped all of them. they went away, but for one. i can see 2-3 black hairs inside the hole. why hasn't it healed? is it herpes? it never blistered/leaked clear?

Accepted Answer

I think you're speaking of pubic/genital shaving, right? This sounds like folliculitis, i.e. irritation or infection of hair follicles, often triggered by shaving. Genital herpes usually doesn't involve the pubic area, only the genitals directly (e.g. penis, scrotum); and association of some lesions with hairs also is against herpes. It can take a couple weeks for folliculitis to heal completely.

Question 3

Today and yesterday ive found bumps on my inner labia that leak pus and hurt, they dont look like herpes though. ?

Accepted Answer

You must be examined and the pustular areas must be cultured: if you are having unprotected intercourse, get a full STD screen. Requires a full. comprehensive GYN exam.

Question 4

My lip started getting pus filled bumps on it yesterday. now today my lip is swollen and they seem more pus filled. do i have herpes?

Accepted Answer

Quite possible.  You need to get it checked out.  With viral infections, acyclovir is helpful.

Question 5

Does herpes develop as a benign bump under the skin then eventually form as a solid blister filled with pus and blood?

Accepted Answer

It appears as a cluster of lesions that look like blisters & they can spread & coalesce followed by crusting over.

Question 6

I have a penis bump and i think i have had it for 5 months now and sometimes it has pus and blood could this be herpes or a std?

Accepted Answer

Nope. Not an std.  It is a common problem known as a sebaceous cyst. Benign.

Question 7

On the shaft of my penis i had a bump that looked like a regular zit and i popped it and a lot of pus and blood came out. do u think its herpes?

Accepted Answer

Herpes doesn't behave at all like this; herpes lesions do not have pus and blood. And pimples are quite common on the penis. Herpes lesions tend to be quite superficial, whereas pimples are deeper. Think of herpes blisters as being on the surface (they start in the outermost laters of skin), whereas pimples develop "in" the skin. And most herpes outbreaks have multiple lesions, not a just one.

Question 8

I have a red bump in the dip of my cupids bow, its just a small red bump and theres no pus or anything. i don't know if its herpes or acne i'm crying!

Accepted Answer

I'm betting it's an infected hair.  Watch it and consider putting a warm compress in place. If it's not better in two weeks, get seen. If it's not really painful, it's almost certainly not herpes.

Question 9

I got a hard bump on the roof of my mouth and then it was soft and slightly painfull pus came out of it and it healed now its back same place. herpes?

Accepted Answer

The fact that your roof of mouth hard bump softened and drained pus argues strongly for a pustule (bacterial infection) rather than an herpetic sore. But then again the fact that you now have the bump back again in the same area makes recurrent herpetic sores a possibility. You should see your internist so that the sore can be visualized and treated.

Question 10

When i popped bump on edge of lip, clear stuff came out, hurt really bad now it looks like its pus filled but just swelled when i tried to bust, herpes?

Accepted Answer

This could be anything from a simple herpes simplex blister to a plugged gland that once  it was disrupted became super infected with oral flora or staph.  If there is swelling, redness, heat and you have a fever or feel ill, you need to see a doctor as you may need an incision/drainage and or antibiotics.  If not so much, warm compresses, topical neosporin or abreva may be tried to clear.
