i honestly have had those in my life too... but i do not have herpes at all... and they go away... but you can get herpes my oral sex... also i think if you have been around someone with herpes and used the restroom after they did maybe you could of got something that way... but mine went away and i have never had a venerial disease and chances are you do not either... the best thing to do is to go to the doctor.. i know you do not want to do this and i would not want to tell my mother either...but that is what are mothers are for... it may be hard but my mother has meant so much to me... i got pregnant at 17 and i just thank god for my mother....i really feel for you to and i know this is something that is really upsetting you... but the best thing to do is to relieve yourself of the worry... talk to your mother or go to a free clinic or some place in your town that will help you.. a lot of times they even do it confidential....hopefully you have a friend you can trust to take you somewhere or maybe even ride a bus... but all in all it would probably be best to confide in your mother...my mother has been wonderful and i hope yours will be too...if you were my daughter i would just take you to the doctor and find out what is wrong.. she will be very relieved herself to know you can talk to her and that you have not been having sexual inercourse with anyone...women have to go through so much it seems to me.. when you do start having sexual relations be sure you always use protection and hopefully you will wait until you can handle the responsibility and with someone that loves you....

You are fine and you do not have herpes trust me. They can either be in grown hairs or pimples. I had one once down there and I went to the doctors because I was scared like you are and the doctor said that it was just a pimple you can have a pimple anywhere not just on your face even guys can get them you know where so it is perfectly normal you don't have a disease.

Hey, the best advice is to see a doctor. Try to go when you actually have a breakout, it makes it easier for the doctor to diagnosis. I don't know if you can have genital herpes without having sex but it could be a number of other things that have nothing to do with sex (like allergic reactions to soap, detergent your undies are washed in, if you've been on antibiotics, or general female problems). Get checked out by a doctor.

Red bumps? Maybe you have pimples down there. Are you washing your vagina daily. You may want to try some mild soap, and keep the area dry. It could be caused by sweat, or not using sensitive soap. Try to keep down there cleaner, and then see if that clears up.

Most likely they are ingrown hairs. If u shave "down there" it can worsen them. I know they can be very painful. Many women live with them. The best bet, is if u shave, to use a new razor, and use a shaving cream. If u just get them normally, there are creams u can use, u can get at any CVS that can heal them and also prevent them.

See a doctor....they could just be an allergic reaction to a laundry soap you are using...or if your wearing really tight syntetic panties with tight jeans, you may be exaerbating an infection of some kind, by not getting any air down there.

well, alot of things could be causing your problem..the first question is wether or not your sexually active.I know you said you have never had intercourse but what about oral?? Herpes can be transmitted by the mouth from a cold sore..Go see your doctor and find out for sure.If left untreated you could ruin your chances of children later on in life

They're likely just pimples or ingrown hairs, but it would be a good idea to see a doctor to rule out the possibility of disease.

First off, do you shave down there? If so it might be an infected hair follicle. But I would go to a doctor to see how you can get rid of them.

If you haven't had sex before I don't see how you would have gotten herpes.... it might just be acne, or if you shave it might be just razor bumps. Best bet is call the doctor.
