No, its not herpes - Grace already said that.
It could be warts, but it could also be folliculitis. Depending on how extensive the folliculitis is, they might give you an antibiotic.

sp basically if its been this long and there just there its not herpes or any kind genital wart? and how do they treat this folliculitis if thats what it turns out ot be
so if its been there for this long I shouldnt have anything to worry about as far as it being herpes?
sounds like they were diagnosing you with folliculitis. anything that lasts this long isn't herpes related that's for sure.
