Infected ingrown hair or?
On Tuesday evening I noticed a large red bump on the shaft of my penis that resembled a large bug bite at first. By the next day it began to fill with pus and I popped it, which lead to it scabbing over. I initially thought it may be an infected ingrown hair, but I’m beginning to worry about genital herpes. I know that herpes usually comes in clusters with more symptoms, but I’m worried just because the bump filled with pus, broke, and then was scabbed over which is what hsv blisters usuallydo
