I had whitish puss under hair follicle on my groin, is that considered herpes or an ingrown hair?

When i popped it, it sort of had a crater. It wasnt a bunch of little tiny ones, like how herpes looks, but not sure, can you help?

it honestly sounds like an ingrown hair. I think you're safe. just put a little triple antibiotic cream on it and it will be fine in a few days.

Ingrown Hair.

If there was a hair growing directly out of the follicle, then it was most likely just an ingrown hair. If it happens again, you need to pull the hair out (as painful as it sounds, tweezers work best...)

However, if you are even considering that it may be herpes, you might want to attend a free clinic or something to get checked out. I get the feeling you think a partner you may have had in the past had herpes, so you should probably see a physician.

Herpes warts do not have puss. They grow like little cauliflowers.

It's definitely an ingrown hair.

It's happened before. You have to make sure your partner doesn't have anything. You also have to see what it feels like and what it looks like. If you're really worried then go to a doctor or something.

But, I definitely don't think it's herpes. Herpes is totally different. Don't think you have much to worry.

Just don't go sleeping around with random people. [lol]

I'm sure you're OK.

Most likely an ingrown hair. If the hair is still there, pull it out with tweezers and put some antibiotic ointment on it. If the last time you had sex was 2 months ago, it's less likely to be herpes, but it could be. If you're concerned, go to a doctor and have it tested. Herpes usually looks like blisters, but can sometimes look more like acne or a rash. I don't think this is, though.

This can be either of them. But commonly herpes shows within 15 days. This may be the second episode. Get checked.
