possible hsv?
HI, I'm a pretty sexually active female, and I always use protection. I know this does not stop hsv, but I usually check my partners genital areas and talk to them about std's before we have sex. Today in the bath I noticed a single blisterish looking thing above my vagina (some ways over top the lip opening ), so technically its not in my opening or anywhere near, but above on the skin where I grow most of my hair. It's a solitary bump thats giving no actual pain, unless i squeeze it then of course it stings. When I initially squeezed it puss came out, now its giving out clear liquid. Since I last popped it, its shrunk and looks like it's going to scar.
I don;t know very much about hsv, so please help me understand what to expect if one has hsv.
1) does hsv 2 usually appear int he form of multiple bumps, or does it appear as one single bump?
2) does one bump appear, followed by more bumps later on in the week?
3) from what I hear hsv 2 is generally painful, is that true?
4)is it more typical for herpes to appear inside my reproductive area than on the outside?
5) does herpes generally leave scars?
Thanks for your help

its very apinful, like an open wound in your skin, not a deep wound but like if u had a scab and carved it with a knife
Yeah I've read similar things. This isn't painful unless I mess with it, which I shouldn't be doing anyways. I don't think it looks like classic herpes, or what I understand herpes to look like, but I can't steer away from the fact that it's an unusual looking blister. I just figure if I had it then I would be developing outbreak inside my vagina or around my ans, and that it would be more intense.
Do you know if I have to wait 3 months from the outbreak or if I can test now?

That doesn't sound like herpes. The lesions should be there all at the same time, and from what I've read they are usually painful, starting as a pimple-like lesion, then quickly popping and turning into a painful erosion that eventually scabs over. Yours sounds more like an ingrown hair or even a common pimple. HSV lesions usually don't scar, I don't think.
um well kinda but im not sure if what u saw was herpes, follow up with a dr, this maybe from anxiety im sure, since u use protection. Good luck your on the green :)
