A member asked:

What r the odds of a not sexually active person have genital herpes? i keep having a recurrent bump on my maj. labia can i be herpes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: If it does not blister first each time and No sexual genital contact, unlikely to be herpes. If a bump only, is more likely a follicular cyst.
