A member asked:

I cut myself 'down there', shortly after bumps appeared. theyre kind of painful. is this cause the cut got infected? or is it herpes?

Herpes simplex: Without seeing these have no way in which to diagnose, but this sounds like a herpetic eruption. See a doctor and get managed professionally. Good luck.
