###Human: Do these symptoms of mine look like herpes? ###Assistant: Hi. I have read your query in detail and do understand your concern. Also, viewed the attached pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity). A lesion on the side of her mouth may or may not be herpes. Lesions on your pubic area are not herpes or any STD (sexually transmitted disease). They seem to be those of folliculitis due to bacterial infection or razor bumps. Moreover, herpetic lesions do not cause itching, but pain and inflammation are the predominant symptom. So, your lesions and symptoms do not sound like herpes.
