Was this a pimple? Or herpes? - Herpes Message Board

I found a little bump on the outer lip of my vagina. It itched and there was only one. About a week after I noticed it, it seemed to have a head as if it was a pimple, and I was able to pop it. (gross, I know). The bump is not raised anymore, and seems to be going away, although it itches a little still.

Could this have possibly been a pimple? I'm really scared it was a herpes outbreak, which I've never had and am not sure what it'd look like. I would think that if I had an outbreak it would be more than one bump, right? And are herpes bumps able to be popped like a pimple? Anyone else ever get a pimple down there? Ah I'm freaking out.

I got very scared once too when i found a pimple on the lower side,I ended up going to a doctor and it was caused by sweat.Don't itch it,one way to see if thier herpes or pimples is to wait.Herpes will come back pimples will go away.i hope i helped u thier very hard to tell apart unless your physicaly looking at them.
