When people develop a pimple on their genitals many think the worst, and believe it is a sign of an STD such as herpes. As a result they get worried, but due to the location of the pimple many suffer in silence because they are too embarrassed to get it checked out. On the other hand some people notice pimple like bumps on their genitals, brush it off as a minor rash or pimple, and do nothing about it, when it may actually be an STD. The best thing to do is speak to your doctor as he will be able to give you a proper diagnosis. If an individual does actually have herpes they will develop blisters on their penis, now these can be mistaken for pimples, however there is a way to tell whether these have occurred as a result of genital herpes. If it is herpes these blisters will be accompanied by flu like symptoms. Now that you know the relationship between herpes and pimples lets look at what can cause the latter to appear on the genitals.
