Brief Answer:
No issues! This is not serious!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pimple. I have reviewed it fully and there is no need to panic. Just o make sure there is nothing we are concerned about, please let me know whether you are sexually active and always protect yourself or not. If you have been having unprotected sex, I will suggest that we do a comprehensive evaluation for possible STDs.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Brief Answer:
IT is not herpes!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This is not suggestive of herpes. I will say monitor only and send another image to me in 48hours for review. If there are any clues at that time suggestive of herpes, I will for sure tell you.

Best wishes and keep me posted.
