I don't want to mistake razor burn for herpes?

[sunlight99]

So basically I've asked a question before but I still have this problem and the more I read into it the more I'm seeing that a lot of the times people think they just have razor burn or ingrown hair but really it's herpes so I am freaking out a little. I can't quite remember when exactly the bumps appeared but about a month ago today I engaged in unprotected sex for the first and only time. I'd say this week I shaved my mons pubic area and I'll admit I didn't use shaving cream which is a big mistake and I had already shaved a few days prior. So I do believe it's likely it could be ingrown hair or razor bumps. But it's been quite a while and they still have not gone away. They don't hurt only when I shaved over them they look almost like pimples but really I don't know. They are only on my pubic bone area. Also I did give oral sex to this person so would that mean I would have oral herpes too?? Because I don't have anything going on in my mouth. Does this sound like herpes?? Or am I just getting in my head???

You are getting in your head. This really sounds like razor irritation. You mist limely wouldn't get hsv orally from the oral sex. Hsv2 rarely infects the mouth. If he had hsv1 then it's even less likely as hsv1 genital sheds very little. Plus the vast majority of primary outbreaks happen 3-10 days from the exposure. In very rare cases it can take up to 20 days.
All this being said I think you would benefit from getting the area looked at. This will put your mind at ease
