Thank you for your reassurance. Is there something else that could cause a clear bump? I am overweight and sweat a lot down there so I get weird bumps all the time but they are usually white from oil build up. I have had several docs look at these. However, I don’t think I’ve had a clear bump. Could it be a friction blister? I was walking a lot 2 days prior. Would a friction blister last this long? It didn’t really look like a blister but it was a bump with a clear top that was shiny. No pain and no redness. Can there be unexplained bumps down there?
Lastly, should I retest at 12 and 1/2 weeks next week? I am having a lot of anxiety about this. Then I will re-test at 16 weeks on Jan 15. Or is this too much testing?

Yes, there can be clear bumps I suppose in the labia but I’m not sure what they might be. A boil perhaps? It is so hard to know over the internet. And did you tell me previously that the clinician couldn’t see it when you pointed it out?
You know, how much a person tests is so individual. Up until 16 weeks, I don’t personally think there is a limit to how many tests a person should take. If someone continues to test negative and after 16 weeks is still testing, then I think that’s too much testing. The risk of more testing is that you could get a false positive (usually indicated by a low index value). And of course there is the cost. You’ve not had any false positives yet and in my experience, usually a false positive happens from the beginning of testing and continues. So you might be fine in that regard. If you are negative at 12 weeks, I think there is an excellent chance you will stay that way.

No, that sounds nothing at all like herpes. People who have herpes on the hand have definitely clear symptoms that sound nothing like what you have.
