    Please don't pop them. That only opens the skin and increases your risk of infection. Some infections can be severe such as MRSA.

    Blood tests won't necessarily diagnose herpes. Your doctor will have to visualize them and most likely culture them.

    If you shave it could be ingrown hairs. There is the possibility that they could also be sebaceous cysts, but only a doctor will know for sure.

    Either way, don't be afraid, (I know, easier said than done), but the doctors, and us nurses, have for sure seen worse than what you are experiencing. It's in the best interest of your health, and reproductive health, to have them properly diagnosed and treated if necessary.
