std or no?
Well i seen a similar question on here but i still wanted to ask my own. I have been getting a bump on my pevic hairs almost everytime my period is here or coming and i also thought it was herpes but the time that i had unprotected sex i got tested after that and i didnt have anything then later the bump would start to appear and i asked my aunt and she said she gets them to but and thats its a boyle. I am going to go to the doctor but im scared what could it be? I also have a UTI that i always seem to get and a possible yeast infection. Do i have herpes? Or is it just a boyle? Please help. Ps they only come wit my period.

Boils are usually pockets of infection that can be reoccurring. They grow in size rapidly, are extremely uncomfortable, and typically contain a large amount of blood and puss when they break open. They are usually only reoccurring if there is trapped infection under the skin that become irritated. Many times boils require lancing and a series of strong antibiotics if they reoccur.
To get the same boil every time you get your period is actually probably pretty uncommon.
The funny thing about herpes is that it will spread even if you have "protected" sex. The condom doesn't always cover the entire infected area of the other person. Condoms actually do a pretty poor job at protecting against hsv-1 or hsv-2 because the virus has a tendency to spread onto non-mucus-membrane parts of the body.
I suppose a herpes lesion can somewhat mimic a boil. It can grow in size, but is usually not as large as a boil. It does break open and seep but doesn't have as much blood fluid or white and yellow puss in it. It would reoccur in about the same location like a boil. It may be itchy like a boil. It can cause a great deal of pain like a boil.
You should really talk to you doctor about it. Many times bloodwork doesn't show herpes. Most STD testing doesn't even test for hsv-1 or hsv-2 unless you specifically request it. You should have the lesion swabbed and scraped the next time it appears, as well as the STD bloodwork (request both herpes strains to be tested for). Your doctor will be able to do that and give you the right answer.
If it's a boil you can get some antibiotics to clear this reoccurring infection up. You want it to be cleared up or you may very well end up with some nasty scarring.
If it's herpes your doctor can talk to you about not spreading it, and you could get prescription medication for it if you'd like.
