a bit worried.

Hi, I've got a question concerning little bumps in my pubic area. So about 2 weeks ago I noticed these a cluster of little red bumps around my pubic area/waist line. The size of these red bumps seem to vary noticeably, as I have one bump that is somewhat bigger then the surrounding ones (they are all fairly small). They don't itch, they don't hurt, they're just there. I thought they were razor bumps at first but it seems like they aren't going away. I scratched one of the larger ones a little hard and it bled a little bit however I don't seem to notice any real discomfort.

The last sexual encounter I had was about a month ago. We had unprotected oral and regular sex. I'm sort a bit freaked out because I've known two people who have been diagnosed with Herpes already and am trying to get a second opinion on the matter. I'm about to go get checked up this weekend but I'm so worried its been hard for me to sleep lately. Am I just freaking out? Do my symptoms match the symptoms of a herpes outbreak?

I've done a little research and I've looked at some pictures of a herpes type outbreak and they look like red sores that ooze some sort of pus. My little red bumps don't seem very consistent with what I've seen online but I'm not a doctor. Please help! Any information would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance.

can be bug bites, irritation , folliculitis or any number of things which is why going to be seen is the best thing to do.

herpes lesions would've changed in appearance by now.

definitely be seen to get these looked at so you know what they are.
