Hsv-1

I test positive for HSV-1 IgG HSv-1 4.44 HIGH. I never had cold sore in my life. My question are
1. Is HSV-1 a big deal? the name herpes make it look like a big deal
2. Does Hsv1 look like a single red pimple with white/yellow/clear puss?
3.What are the symptom of hsv1?burning feeling?

no reason to think this is hsv1. since it's gone, no reason to be seen about it either.

thank you grace. While i had a pimple on my shaft, though it was herpes doesn't itch but hurt a little  when i touch it. It grew big with weird color puss so i pop it ( stupid idea) next day it just look like a small red pimple with no puss(like a small lump) been there  for at least a month so i got a needle and pop it again (another stupid idea). now i have no pimple just something that look like a very small dent where the pimple use too be(look like a small skin is missing). I think it cause i damage my skin by poking it or something. I get pain that go and comes back. I can't see a doctor until my next week. work all week. any ideas?

the pain would be constant for a few days and then go.

typically hsv1 genitally does not present the way you've described your symptoms hence why I've said repeatedly that you really have no reason to think that your hsv1 is genital.

Why ask these questions why not just be seen when yu have something going on so that you can know if this is herpes related?  Why do you insist on us trying to tell you that this is "pimple" was herpes when you have no proof?
