Thank you I just need and extra reassurance!
This doesn't sound at all like herpes. The location is atypical for herpes but perfect for a pimple, folliculitis, or something like that. And with herpes you can't sqeeze liquid from deep inside. Your mom probably is correct; ingrown hair is a good bet. I really don't think you need worry at all about this.
There are smaller bumps but I have been only been picking at this one it didn't scab after it popped or anything the next day it just bothers me knowing its there maybe I just irritated it ? I put a hot compress on it and it felt much better thought help..
