Need Help Quickly

Well tonight around 1:50 i have noticed a raised lump, kind of like a spot - i squeaked it and it reacted like a white head, but not just white came out, i have had this before and i pop it and it went away, i'm 17 - sexually active and i smoke.  The lump is near the sack area but next to the thigh, yesterday i was sweating down their - could this be a reaction?

I'm easily worried - so could you please respond quickly.


- Thank You.

Is it just the one, or are there many? If there are more, I would recommend being examined by a physician, and getting the lump(s) tested for HSV tomorrow!!
If it's just the one, I would still recommend getting tested, only with a blood test instead--an IgG HSV type specific test. Since you're sexually active, I would get tested ASAP, and try to not have sex until you know. If you cannot wait, at lesat protect your partner(s) through condom use.
