Herpes or Folliculitis? HELP
Hi,
I had sex a couple nights ago, and around 9 hours after I noticed painful pimples on my pubic area, each pimple was under a hair, which makes me uncertain of whether it is HSV-2 or Folliculitis. They have not spread to other parts of my body, and have only appeared under my pubic hair. I also had the flu which I know is a symptom of herpes, but this may have been due to the fact that I had not slept and had spent the majority of the night outside in just a t-shirt (it was cold and rained). I also used a condom and am convinced that the pimples may have been due to the fact that her pubic hair was brittle, and had caused some sort of irritation. I have noticed my pubic area is sensitive to brittle pubic hair after shaving, and other discomforts. I would be more than grateful for some suggestions as to what this is, and possibly what to do in this situation. Feel free to ask questions if it would help, I can provide more details if necessary.
Thank you.

Hi symptoms of any std including herpes takes about a week on average to appear and with herpes the sores would appear before flu like symptoms not after. Sores always develop first with herpes.
