Ingrown hair or possible herpe?

[anonymous12345]

About a year ago I noticed a zit-like bump in my pubic region (no real prominent white head though).  It had probably been about a week since I had shaved the hair there.  I picked at the bump and it bled slightly and I applied Neosporin and thought nothing of it.  In a few hours the bump was gone and it was nothing but a pinhead size red mark/scab in the middle of where the bump had been-it was completely healed within 2 days.  My questions is-is it possible this could have been a herpe?  I never worried about this until my friend recently had a herpes scare and I started doing research and then remembering having the bump.  I even had sex with my boyfriend right after I picked at it and he has never shown any symptoms.  Would herpes have gone away that quickly?  I have stopped shaving my pubic hair and have never had any other bumps like it.  I know it's kind of dumb to worry about something that happened a year ago but I just wanted a professional opinion. Thank you!

No, I don't think it was herpes.  Probably just an ingown hair you picked at.  Especially in light of your lack of recurrence and the fact that your boyfriend doesn't have any symptoms, I'd forget about it.

Take care.

Dear,
I’d like to describe a little bit different way how to treat health or skin problems.
I suffered from atopic eczema all my childhood. My mom tried everything possible to help me, but nothing worked. I went to see many doctors, tried every cream or pills with no results. I remember my mom how desperately she tried. One day I don't know why, but I went to see a healer who came to my town once a month to help people. Believe or not. The eczema what I was suffering from  for 18 years was gone within few weeks. I learned at that time, that skin is only a mirror of my organism. The problem on the skin is just a demonstration of some of your organ problems. Skin problem is just one way how to let you know about that.
But anyway, when I was 20 years old I started to travel to different countries. Never had problems with my skin until I came to USA 5 years ago. I was OK for 4 years but last year I got severe eczema again. Except my face I had it everywhere.
I tried everything possible for few months, with no results at all. I decided to search for alternative help again. I got in touch with Mr. Gellner who was claiming he can treat any health problem over the distance by meditation. And he was saying that he was successful in 99% of all eczema cases so far .First I didn't believe it and was fighting with that problems for another months. Than I said to myself, I don't need to risk anything, if I'm going to try and I did. 5 months was nothing happening at all. On the 6th month my bad eczema disappeared within one week and never came back again. His treatment is very unusual but has the best advantage what nobody else can offer. You pay after you see the results. You can just give it a try and wait till it comes. From the time I got fixed from him, I started to promote his healing method around the world. It is not about money, but about helping to other people, because I know how people with eczema can feel in our society.
