ingrown hair or herpes sore

So i noticed a bump in my pubic area close to the base of my penis I popped it and clear liquid came out and now it looks like an open sore feels tender too. I use to regularly shave my pubic area and get a lot of ingrown hairs and pop them but pus and blood would come out this one seems different I'm not sure. Could it be a herpes sore or just another ingrown hair? Can a pimple pop and create a sore like this?

The most recent one was protected sex, although in the past I have had a few exposures unprotected. so far of all of the irritations I've had this one was different just in the type of discharge.

Hello so there is only the one sore, and the only time it hurts is when I touch it I'm still waiting to get my health insurance finalized until I get seen which sucks.

Hi, a clear blister is a typical herpes symptom but if its not painful or spreading i would rule herpes out. Have it tested to confirm is your concerned
