Blister from shaving irritation or genital herpes?


about 2 months ago, I got a small red bump. this bump eventually got a lot bigger, then it formed into a smaller, fluid-filled blister. the blister only lasted for a day. the red bump left over from the blister then started to heal. a few days ago, the red bump (much smaller, less noticable, and less painful then before) started to act up again. yesterday, the bump formed into a bigger fluid-filled blister (as opposed to the one before). This blister only lasted for a day (like the other one).

i was wondering if this could be irritation from shaving (i noticed the first bump right after i shaved over that area) is it possible to get blisters from shaving?

i have never been sexually active, but i do have herpes type 1 (oral cold sores) when the first blister showed up, i called my gyno, but i couldnt get an appointment that day, so when i came in, they werent able to give me a test to tell me what the blister was. the same thing happened today...

the gyno couldnt give me the test because the blister(s) only lasted one day, so they were gone when i went in for my appointment

From what I have read this doesnt sound like herpes altho I could be wrong you should get tested.I say this cause from what I read herpes outbreaks take longer than a day to clear up they can last for 3 weeks.

Symptoms
Symptoms of herpes outbreaks typically begin with pain, tenderness, or itching in the genital area and may also include fever and headache. Bumps and blisters may appear on the vagina, penis, scrotum, anus, thigh, or buttocks. Blisters soon open to form painful sores that can last up to 3 weeks.

Other symptoms may include: pain or a burning sensation during urination; muscle aches; and tender, swollen glands in the groin area. After the first herpes infection, the virus can lie dormant without causing any symptoms. But the virus might reactivate later, leading to sores that usually don't last as long as those during the first outbreak. The virus tends to reactivate following some type of stress, like a cold, an infection, hormone changes, menstrual periods, or even before a big test at school.

BTW-You can get gential herpes thru oral sex with someone that has a cold sore!just wanted to pass that tid bit on. Alot of people find that hard to belive but it is true look it up.

If you have never been sexually active, then I don't see how you could have genital herpes.
