Hi,
It is possible that the bump on your labia and subsequent scab could be due to
herpes, but it is also possible that it could be due to another condition, such as an ingrown hair or a pimple. The best way to determine the cause of the bump is to see a healthcare provider and have them examine the area.
Herpes is a viral infection that is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, including sexual contact. It typically causes painful,
fluid-filled blisters or sores on or around the genitals, anus, or mouth. However, not everyone who has herpes experiences noticeable symptoms. It is also possible for the symptoms to be mild or mistaken for another condition.
If you are concerned that you may have herpes or another sexually transmitted infection, it is important to see a healthcare provider for testing and treatment. They can also provide you with information on how to prevent the spread of the infection to others.
