How can you tell if razor burn is razor burn and not herpes?

Well, I shave about 2 times a week, and I get razor burn, they look like little red bumps, I sometimes get a pimple down there. But thats it. It never breaks or anything. So how can I tell if its herpes or just razor burn?

Answer #1

Yea it’s not blisters or anything like that. They don’t hurt. It doesn’t really even itch.

Answer #2

Herpes is very disctinct. It may start out ‘rash like’ and itchy…but turns into blisters…if you are worried about it, tho…your Dr. can test you.

Answer #3

Go to a gyno! Get tested! It could be nothing just bad razor bumps but it wont hurt to make sure :)

Answer #4

Aren’t herpes related to genetics or an STD/STI?

It’s possible your skin is just irritated, try using a different shaving gel/cream and change your razor?
