I have had cysts in my armpits before and
when I went to the doctor I was told that
you could also get them in your genital
area so when I began to get the same bump
over and over through the years I assumed
it was a cysts..The bump gets sorta big
just like the cyst in my armpits and then
busts just like the cyst and it hurts like
hell just the same..My question is could
this be herpes and I just dismissed it as
a cysts? How would I know? I have look
at the pictures on yahoo of the ppl with
herpes and mine looks nothing like
theirs....Mine is just one sometimes 2
bumps on the top of my vagina like where
the main hair is..Never on the inside or
near the inside..How can I tell what is
what. I am sexually active and have been
for a while..My previous bf doesnt have
any stds (hes been tested) so im just
overall confused at to what it could be.

Herpes can show up anywhere on the body.
What you describe sounds like it but to be
sure, when you have the next outbreak, see
the doctor while the symptoms still show.
He/she will be able to take a culture then
to find out for sure.

Sounds to me like it may be an ingrown
hair. If you have shaved there, or if you
are wearing too tight of pants or
underwear, that could be causing it. It
could also just be little zits, especially
if you aren't wearing cotton underwear, as
this causes you to sweat more than usual.
I would assume since it is not on the
inside (you said it was only on the
outside) that you are fine.
