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

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!

Genital herpes: Herpes, whether oral (almost always HSV type 1) or genital (HSV1 or 2), typically causes superficial red bumps that in 1-2 days becmoe clear fluid-filled blisters then superficial pimples or open sores after another 1-2 days. Not associated with hairs. Usually there are clusters of a few lesions, each one 1-3 mm (under 1/8") diameter. Pimples etc usually are deeper. Google to see photos.
