Hey girl best thing to do is ask a doctor or your mom.. There are so many complications that can happen with 'that area' It is possible if maybe your mom didnt know she had herpes and gave birth to you while having an outbreak, but I am no doctor and wouldn't count on that explanation. Another thing to consider is if you've had oral sex.. Talk to your mom, doctor or a planned parenthood agency if the first two aren't an option. Its the best way to get the answer your lookin for
