Scared is herpes but may be acne
My genitals are fully clean and no odd/abnormal marks are down there. My concern is on my chin, on the side of my chin I got 2 relatively big pimple looking bumps. I tried to pop them but one just bled and the other nothing happened. If I possibly contracted the disease it would have been months ago. I'm 16 and probably am just going through hormonal changes but I'm still very worried!! There are a few more of these pimple like things around my chin but they are very small and scattered. They aren't all bunched together. Lastly when I put hydrocortisone cream on these bumps they calm down and get smaller. I started shaving my face a few months ago and I'm wondering if they are ingrown hairs.
They seem to be kind of like boils though, a little clear liquid comes out if I can manage to pop it, then it bleeds, Im still scared...
This is not hsv. Creams like you used makes hsv worse. Rule of thumb is hsv lesions are on top of the skin. What you describe is under the skin, like a pimple
