Kind of big bump on my pubic area

[couldbeherpes]

Ok, I have this single bump on my pubic area and im afraid that this could be GENITAL HERPES! I had sex 2 weeks ago. I know genital herpes usually get multiple small bumps but I have a feeling that this could be herpes.

Should I go to the doctor and so I can get handed my death sentence?

You don't have to wait 6 months! Testing for syphillis is 1 month and testing for HIV or aids I think is ok at 1 month as well but 100% result at the 3 month mark!

I think I've read that herpes down there would pop up in the first week, therefore I thought you were good. As far as std's? You should be good also, since it's been 2 weeks with no signs of infection down there from what you've described. If you didn't wear a condom, I recomend getting tested after 1 month mark for syphillis and HIV. If you did wear a condom, you might still want to test for those two, but the likelihood of HIV is very slim from what I've read and been told. I'm waiting to test next week with my fingers crossed, so I feel you. Just relax and don't stress. By the way, I'm not a doctor, I'm just someone who's been reading up on these things for 3 weeks now, but I know about a few "nothings" that can pop up down there! Hope all goes well! God bless!

Went to the doctor today and I expected to be handed in my death sentence, when she looked at my bump, it turns out it's just hair follicle! She was explaining it to me while she was popping it. I have never been so happy in my life after she said it.

Then again I have 6 months to find out whether I'll get infected with some STD or AIDS. I hope I have nothing.

Fordyce spot? I'm sure it's nothing.

No it's neither of those things. It doesn't hurt, itchy when I touch it or try poking it, unless I poke it with force to pop it which I'd rather not. I don't think it's some sort of an ulcer since it's some sort of a hard bump, not a sore. But if it's just syphillis, thank god we have meds to cure it. I just don't want some herpes hsv1,2, or 3 whatever they have it now or HIV/AIDS. I'm not ready to die yet.

Could be a zit! I think herpes grows more than just one bump. Does it look like a wart with red at the base? Does it cause an uncomfortable itchy feeling? If so, then maybe it could be herpes. If the answers are no, then it's either a zit or syphilis chancre? But I'm guessing its either a zit or a nothing rash. Go see your doc, nothing to be too worried about.
