Blister in pubic area. Herpes?? Posted: 12-04-07 00:39am
Im in a long term relationship with my bf
and we dont use condoms because I am on
the pill. Yesterday I noticed I have a
blister type thing at the top of my pubic
area just below where my underpants line
is. There is only one. I am going to go to
a doctor tomorrow if I can but just wanted
some opinions on this. I have never had
cold sores or any stds before...

Is the blister on your vulva? Like in
between your lips or by your clit? Also
what exactly does the blister look like?
Herpes sores are like this:
Start as a pimple like red bump, its itchy
and sore
Bump pops and becomes an open lesion
Puss and blood come out
It forms a white film (like a white head)
The film turns into a scab
The sore heals after about a week
I have never had a sore on my upper pubic
region (like where the hair line is) IS
this where it is?

It could be something simple like a
pimple. However, if you have reason to
believe you have been infected with
herpes, it could be that too.

I dont recall any pus or blood coming out
of it... although I just had a shower and
it now looks like it has a hole in the
middle :s It is quite high in the pubis
area where the hair is... It is not near
my vulva. It hasnt been itchy but it is a
bit sore if i press on it

My guess is a pimple.
Of course only a doc can tell you, though.

I have had this happen to me more than
once. Sometimes, boils/bumps may appear
around or near the hair line. It is very
possible that you have an ingrown hair or
you have a boil that is coming, meaning it
will get riper until it burst and the
inflammation comes out. Usually, a hot
compress with a wash cloth helps to open
the pore and release the inflammation.
If it is an ingrown here, don't take my
bad advice, but I grab a mirror and a
sterilized tweezer and start hunting.
Thanks for your
help
