Genital Herpes or ingrown hair??

[Reinman]

About a month ago I got oral sex from a homeless person. A few days ago I my back started itching and I scratched it but I felt something bust. It was like a pimple busted. I took a picture of it and it had a dark spot around the pimple since I’m black so the skin was darker then my skin. I didn’t see anymore bumps are sore around but under the sore it had a large amount of pus under my skin. Can someone help me out if this is herpes or not

It's unlikely to be herpes - herpes isn't pimples.

Have you seen a doctor?

When you get herpes from oral sex, you get genital hsv1. You could already have hsv1 - 67% of people under 50 have it globally, and the vast majority never get symptoms. If you have it already, you won't get it again genitally.

Since it had a dark spot around it - I'm guessing like a ring? - it sounds like it might have been infected. If it still looks like that, get it checked out.

No I didn’t go to the doctor for it and yea it was like a dark ring around it. I pushed on the pus (not knowing that I wasn’t suppose to do it) and it my a big scab looking on my skin. It doesn’t itch or anything

Yeah, that sounds like an infected hair follicle or something, not herpes.

Thank you. I’ll go get it checked out
