That really looks like an infected hair follicle..
It never hurts to go see a doctor though, to get peace of mind because once you're worried about having contracted an STD, it is ALL that is on your mind...
But it does look like a pimple caused by an infected hair follicle.

i noticed a red sore above my penis close to the top, where my pubic hair begins. The sore was smaller at first but has gotten bigger over a few days it hurts if any type of pressure is applied to it. When I touch it feels hard like a cyst."

Hello... I have herpes, and to be honest- [at least mine,] my outbreaks do not look like that. But, I agree with the other post- the safest thing to do is go get checked out by a doctor. A] what if it gets worse? or B] what if it's something serious? Especially if it hurts.. your body is telling you something- go to the doctor-- even if you don't have insurance. Go to a local clinic that will work out payments. I've been there, and I know how stressful it can be.. but if you wait, the problem could grow to be worse and more costly.

Good luck- hope you feel better soon!
