Genital herpes???

I am 25 years old and not proud to say i used to be pretty promiscious about 7 years ago. Recently, i shaved my pubic area(i usually shave) A day later it started itching really bad. I just took it as being from shaving. about 2 weeks later, I felt a bump on one of my labia. about a week later, I have more bumps. I dont think there is any puss or anything, and they are not uncomfortable and ive never had them before. I just dont know if it could be herpes (which ive heard the first outbreak is extremely painful with flu like symptoms). Its not painful or really itchy. Sometimes if i am moist it will itch but quickly stops if i clean up. or if it could just be from irritation brought on from shaving or from sweat and friction. I think its just from shaving but its never happened before and I'm really scared...don't know how i'm going to tell my boyfriend. I would go to the doctor but i am on my period and i dont want to be gross...could it be anything else than herpes?

Ouch!! sounds scary, I don't think that it is herpes though I would get checked to be on the safe side though. Don't sleep with anyone till you do. It is highly contiguous.

After your period ends, see your doctor ASAP!
Shaving does that..
see a doctor!! from what I know it sounds like herpes
Med school
i know chicks who have shaved down there, get-around girls and virgins alike, and then gotten all sorts of bumps and rashes. don't panic for now. just wait til your period is over, then go to the gyn. in the meantime, don't do anything.
don't panic. you're going to be fine. good luck. <3
If I'm not mistaken, genital herpes usually creates an outbreak within three days of contracting it. I don't think it surfaces later. Herpes has clear weeping liquid in the first or second day.
