3 little lumps.. not sure if herpes, will the second outbreak be less?

Posted , 3 users are following.

I’ve had 3 little lumps inside my vagina which have now disappeared without bursting. Could this be herpes? Also if I have a second outbreak, is there normally less spots? Also I live in the UK so can’t get a blood test to see, they only swap open sores. Thanks.

    From most of my reading since diagnosis, the first is usually the worst outbreak. The second wasn't nowhere near as bad as first for me. By then it's in your blood and your body starts to live with it as normal from building antibodies to it.

      Did the amount of blisters you have reduce then? How long after your first outbreak was your second?

      2nd outbreak was probably 1/2 the blisters as first. My 2nd was about a month after first. I've read that stress can cause outbreaks and I've been pretty stressed so not sure if that's a normal time frame
