I got up and took a shower this morning, and was drying myself off when i noticed 1 circular red looking mark in the pubic hair region above the crotch. I really hadn't noticed it, it must have come over night or somthing. It was red with white in the middle. Its not really pretruding the skin. It isn't itchy or anything, and i cant feel it unless i touch it. Its just 1 and there isnt anything else.. weird but i just was wondering if it was herpes.

Hi Robbie,

It doesn't sound like typical herpes, but herpes can have a wide range of visual appearance. If you're worried (and you obviously are), get your doc to take a look at it ASAP (in the next day or two ideally) and have a swab test done on it.

Let us know how you make out.

There's a chance that it is. It could also be any number of other things including an ingrown hair. The best thing to do is have it checked out by a doctor. The sooner you can get in, the better, because then he/she might be able to swab the spot and test it pretty accurately, whereas if you wait, it will be become more difficult.

Good luck.
