Is it Herpes

Hello
I am 18 years old and just recently became sexual active, I just recently got a boil or something on my vaginal area. I think its a boil I am not completely sure, i didnt see any pus it just bleed. I have had boils on my vaginal area before but that was before i became sexually active and i had not gotten them for a while. I am very scared it might be herpes, i really hope it is not. I did also recently start to shave my vaginal area and i thought at first it was a shave blister, bu i'm not sure. I really just want to kno if it could be something other that herpes? I plan on gettin checked as soon as possible.

Hi,

Genital herpes presents with small, red bumps, blisters that ulcerate in the genital, anal and nearby areas. Pain or itching may also be present. If there was a previous history of shaving the area, this is more likely folliculitis or inflammation of the hair follicles. Warm compress may help. This usually resolve on its own. But if it persists, have this evaluated by your doctor for proper management.

Take care and keep us posted.
