What's the difference to a pimple and herpes on your genitals? i have a whitehead down there but i also have a cold sore, do i have genital herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be either.: Genital herpes typically consists of one or more painful group(s) of blisters on a red base. Sometimes the blisters look like "whiteheads". The only way to know for sure is to have a culture done by your doctor or a dermatologist.
