Is Red Lump On Thigh A Sign Of Herpes?

Hi,I have discovered a small penny sized red lump on the top of my thigh, about 6 inches away fro my penis but on my leg. It does not hurt at all nor is it itchy, but my girlfriend has herpes and it is a concern. We are protected and she regularly takes her medication when we are together and does not experience anymore outbreaks.Could it be herpes when it s so obvious yet doesn t tingle or itch?Please help!A.

HI
Well come to HCM
No this may not be herpes infection but could be some nonspecific type of skin lesion most of the time this comes around on its own, just wait for some time, and this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
