Herpes question
Hey, I'm new. Apologies in advance if a similar question to this has been asked recently.
I need some help, as this isn't something I'm comfortable discussing with my doctor.
I'm a little worried as my boyfriend, who has recently been getting over a flu virus that led to a cold sore outbreak on his lip, gave me oral sex last week. (We both already have Herpes 1). He told me he was feeling better, and that the sore had already scabbed and therefore wasn't contagious, and it looked like it had gone down in size, so I let him give me oral sex believing it was all safe. Now it's been a couple days but I have a small red bump that sort of looks like a pimple in the genital area, a couple inches up above the labia where the pubic hair grows. It's a little bit sore, and could possibly be an ingrown hair from shaving, but I need to be sure. I looked it up just now to see if Herpes 1 can be spread to the genital area and found out that it can through oral sex (which I didn't know was 30% of the cause of cases of genital herpes.) I've also just read that genital herpes outbreaks generally occur on the labia or close to the vagina.
How likely is it that he could have spread herpes to my area from an already scabbed over coldsore on his mouth from oral sex?
Is it true that it is not active/contagious once it's scabbed? (-edit- I looked that up on the vaginapagina website and found no answer)
How worried should I be about this lil red bump?
Your feedback is much appreciated.
