I have a pimple like bump on my pubic area. i've had it for a few days. today i saw it crust over. it never caused pain. is it herpes if it has a scab?

Hard to say: It is probably not herpes although i cannot be sure. You may just have an inflammation of a hair follicle called folliculitis.Another possibility is molluscum contagiosum.I would see a dermatologist to find out what the actual diagnosis is.
