Detailed Answer:
Hey, I saw one doctor saying this is herpes.
You have been tested for that, right ?
And the first pic is clear cut folliculitis, but I can see some areas like vesicles on the mons.
Can you send me more clear pics of what is happening around the genital area, not the thighs ?

Detailed Answer:
Get the test for herpes.
I thought that was the first test we ran !
And yes, the hair is coming back, so I would still go with folliculitis.
let me know at the earliest what the herpes report says.
