Is this herpes?

Question:
I get tiny pimples in between my little hairs sometimes. always like three.
They itch until I squeeze them,in which the clear liquid comes out. I put
peroxide, they scab up and go away. Is this herpes? Please help.

Answer:
it might be....

Only a culture would tell you for sure... It kinda sounds like it.

next time you get them, don't pop them... see a dr. if you want to know for sure....

Answer:
i have an appointment tomorrow. just a little scared. this has been happening for like three years though.

Answer:
Hey Pam - that's how mine started (sorry) I just thought it was pimples, in fact a doc told me it was just a pimple -

Definately get them cultured - and don't touch - they can't culture after they scab over.

Answer:
never had any other symptoms. nothing swollen no headaches or flu like symptoms. do u think there is a chance it might not be herpes.

Answer:
Yes - could be ingrown hairs too, but if it's reoccurring in the same spot - and multiple sores - no hairs - HSV is a definate possibility. It sounds mild though, which is good news, if that kind of news is good - get the culture.

Answer:
how long does it take for herpes to fully develop like those pics?

Answer:
mine are in between hairs.
I'm very scared.

Answer:
Pam, if it is HSV - it won't get as bad as those pics, in fact alot of those pics are worst case photos. In fact, if you don't touch, and are careful here on out - it will probably get better.

I know you're scared, I remember - are the blisters present now? the doc needs to test the fluid in them to know for sure.
