not sure no time to go to the doctor

not sure no time to go to the doctor

i have had 2 sores in the past month in my pubic hair region.  first was on the right side about 2" up from the base of my penis.  second was on the left side about 3" above my penis.  they both happened like a 5 days after i shaved down there when the hair was growing back  and both had hair sticking out which i pulled out.  
the first one i stared as a bump and a hair was sticking out of the base so i pulled it out.. the sore started at the end of the follicle then back.  buti started picking at it and i think i irritated it more. so i have been using hydro peroxide and alcohol.  but turned into a canker looking thing.  then went away after like 7 days...
now the other one isnt as mean but definatetly was on a follicle.  

thay start out as bumps with like 2 tiny hairs sticking out?? it almost like 2 hairs try to grow out of on follicle?? no blisters or or puss??

i have no sign of fatigue or tingling or soreness...none of the typicals presymptom...?? nothing on my penis or anything?? seem like they are centralize riht on that follicle.. the first one now has hair growing out right where it was cause i can see the scar??  and i assume the second one will too??
not sure...any info would be nice!! thanks!!

you need to make time to be seen if you want answers. we can't even begin to diagnose what is going on with you.

you can have herpes in the pubic area but typically there is not a hair in a herpes lesion.

this could be a simple folliculitis or a more complex bacterial infection that needs antibiotics which is why going to be seen is the best course of action.

well i put some antibiotics on it and pulled out the hair..the lesion is now gone just a little scab...it healed up in 5 days...i was just a little nervous because it is down there...i had a bunch of little pimple ingrowns in my pubic region right after shaving...i think this one just got infected... if it happens again i will get tested!!
