So recently i discovered a few sore like bumps on my vagina but i looked up all the stds that it might can be but it doesn't look like any of them. I'm really scared and I cant go to the doctor because i dont have any insurance. I would highly appreciate it if y'all can help me.

    If they are lesions, or open sores they could be herpes. Are you able to go to planned parenthood? They can do STI screenings.

    have you had sexual activity recently?

    are they painful, itchy/tingly or hurt when you pee or if it passes over them?

    any flu like symptoms, feeling run down, swollen glands or tingling in your thighs or bum?

    have they come up anywhere else around your vagina/bum?

    herpes is tough to diagnose visually! but from your picture the way the sores are clustered together gives me the impression that it could be herpes!

    best bet is to get them swabbed while they are fresh! im sure some were offers free or affordable screening! if it is herpes you will need antivirals! it gets worse before it gets better!!

      yes I've been sexually active but i haven't had any of them symptoms and they haven't shown up anywhere else Its only hurting because I've been messing with it. I'm just really scared I hope it isn't herpes. I'll go to a few places to see if i can get tested.

    it looks like herpes, especially if it hurts i would say it is. but get tested, it could also be syphallis but those sores dont hurt.

    I missed all the replies somehow, including the pic you posted. Yes, unfortunately that looks like a herpes outbreak. Ignore my previous comment.

      Interesting. That actually could be some form of fungal infection, which would be fairly easily curable with a cream. I'm kind of on the fence, or 50/50, but to me it may be looking like a skin infection instead of herpes.

      The doctor said I have bv or a yeast infection. I'm still waiting on my results to come back hopefully its not herpes. Its been there for 3 days now and nothing seemed to change, it hasn't filled with puss or anything. It hasn't appeared nowhere else either.

      Really sounds like it must be a topical skin infection then, and not herpes. Best of luck, and let us know how it goes.
