Is it herpes or folluculitis

Dears ,

About one year ago I had protected oral and after 3 months had body to body massage and there was no sores on groin like symptoms

Recently before 10 days  I have joined gym which involved cross fit and swimming and hot tub etc

From the last 3 days am facing blister like sores  (puss filled) on my groin pubic hair region

Kindly advise if this is herpes like symptoms or bacterial infection

So while protected oral isn't zero risk for stds like herpes, it's really low. You had a barrier. And this happened a full year ago. I would not think what you are experiencing has anything to do with an STD including herpes. The hot tub may be your culprit. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324721

Thanks dear for the confirmation so I can clearly assume this is a bacterial infection because this is started only I have started after going to gym activities
Well, a doctor who examines you is the only one who can definitely say that, but chances are really good that it's not herpes.
