You are now 11 days beyond exposure. If you are still looking for symptoms of herpes, they aren't coming!

Most people don't realize their lymph nodes are enlarged. They also enlarge for a near infinite amount of reasons and are often simply tender when you poke them.

It is unlikely to be a bump. It will be several patches with little blisters within that will have clear fluid inside that will probably weep.

The key symptom of a primary outbreak will be reddened roughish areas around the infection site. Inside these areas will be multiple little bumps and blisters. The patches may seem moist, leaking clear fluid. It is likely that they will itch strongly and you will feel their presence as a tightness, tingle and numbness in the area. It is possible that you would have lymph node expansion and maybe even a crawling or flu ache feeling in the small of your back.

These sores will appear 2-10 days after infection.

If you have head cold like flu symptoms and that's all, this will not be an indicator of a genital herpes infection.

More likely you'd have genital lesions emerge in conjunction with other symptoms.

If you mean a head cold like flu, then this isn't a sign of genital herpes.
