Hello doctor,
I have a small little pimple and I am worried if it could herpes. I have not had sex in about two months and I always used a condom. I never had unprotected sex in my life, but I have seen this little red spot and I am worried if it can be an STD.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have noted your concern and I have viewed the images (attachment removed to protect patient identity). No, it is not herpes. Genital herpes usually presents with multiple, grouped, fluid-filled lesions or genital sores which are quite painful.
Regards.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
Do you know what it is? Can it be acne?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Yes, it is most likely a pimple or an acne due to a blocked gland. I suggest you use a topical antibiotic such as Neosporin ointment or Mupirocin ointment 2 %, twice daily.
Regards.
