A member asked:

Not sexually active: 3 red bumps either side of labia minora in a week. 2 went down in a few days, now another! no abscess, just red, slightly painful?

Herpes simplex: This may be recurrent genital herpes, but without an exam there is no way to diagnose this over the internet. Show these to a doctor and they can then be accurately assessed. Best wishes.
