Have a check up: Would see your doctor to look at the lesions. Cannot comment without seeing them.

Question 5

what is the likelihood that herpes sores are itch less/painless, only have pimple looking bumps not clear fluid filled sores? what are the symptoms?

Herpes simplex: This does not sound as if they were likely to have been caused by infection with this virus, but without seeing them cannot really comment on their probable cause.

Question 6

i have bumps that look like tiny pimples above my clitoris, but it doesn't hurt. they come back from time to time. do i have herpes? it never burns.

Accepted Answer

Sebaceous glands: If these are not actual blisters, i suspect these are the normal sebaceous glands that you have because you are a woman. Of course, no description is as helpful as actually seeing them. Ask your gynecologist during your next visit.

Question 7

i have the same issue. i have a couple of small but noticeable bumps that look like pimples on my penis. would like to know if they are warts, herpes?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can look: Bumps and rashes are difficult to describe in words. A primary care doctor, a urologist, or a dermatologist can examine penis bumps to see what they might be. Sometimes rashes are normal bumps like "pearly papules" or comedones (plugged skin pore, plugged hair follicle) but other times they may be from viruses like HPV or molluscum. For unusual rashes, a skin biopsy may be done by a dermatologist.

Question 8

i have a pimple like bump in my bikini area. ob said pimple but culture in case. can herpes look like a bump then pimple then bump then little in24hrs?

Accepted Answer

Ingrown hair?: If it is a single lesion and not painful it is more likely to be an ingrown hair or folliculitis. Your doctor is testing it, so try to not worry about it until the results are back.

Question 9

little bumps on outer labia. flesh colored / looks like pimples sometime. about 5 of them. doesn't look like pics of herpes / warts. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Sebaceous cysts: Some women get sebaceous cysts, small lumps of fat tissue, or epidermal inclusion cysts, small lumps of skin tissue, under the skin.  These usually need no treatment.  See your provider for clarification.

Question 10

what does genital herpes look like? pimples or ingrown hairs? how big are they?

Accepted Answer

Here's info: http://www.cdc.gov/std/herpes/STDFact-herpes.htm

If you are worried, have an exam - use a condom to protect both yourself and others. Self Dx by photos might be mistaken anyway, so it's not helpful. Read, learn, have an exam. It's fairly common so they'll know how to assist you. Unfortunately, it's not curable, but very treatable. Don't fret. Best wishes!
