Burning in and around vagina. Suspicious of herpes/warts PIC to see
Posted , 5 users are following.
I have been experiencing vaginal burning on the inside and also what feels like my lips and also my clit. Also some tingly sensations. my vagina feels irritated and tender. i am suspicious of 2 "bumps" at that are just inside of the vaginal opening. To me, I am red too.
anyone have any advice or suggestions?

nope. Been in and out of my drs office numerous times and everything comes back negative. Prescribed 2 different topical creams... still burning. Went back again bc i was so red and irritated at my vaginal opening. Showed him pictures and all of the progression since this pic here. Herpes again came back neg but gave me
7 day supply of valtrex JUST in case. took them and thought it might be helping but nope.... still some funky feeling yesterday and today. no pins and needles... that lasted a week or more but never had an OB of sores. i do have continual aches in my upper arms, thighs and neck/upper back/shoulders. Hiv and syph test at 145 days past. herpes at 125 days past. bv, trich and yeast was shortly before the 125 days... all neg. oh and as im texting all this... reminded me that my fingers from my nuckels down get hot and really red several times a day. WEIRD!

needs to be an open sore for a swab otherwise it wont be a reliable result because its the fluid inside the sores are wat gives the results the only thing they can swab from the inside is discharge it wouldnt detect herpes just vaginal infections u need to go back and see someone else another doctor or a dermatologist in order to find out wats causing the irritation and also the skin growth as 4 weeks is a long time for a spot to be there unchanged

i do agree about the unchanged growths.. could be totally begin and nothing serious. . but for the peace of mind.. have you found a solution for the burning? ive been dealing with that for about two to three years.. they can never figure out why...

he said he didnt see a need to biopsy it right now. i have discomfort there at the
bottom and a little in my anal area. i just know im gonna have a herpes outbreak or a wart any day.
i have two creams to use but didnt find them helping after a week of use. now im jusy using aquaphor if i feel any rawness.

thats totally your anxiety.. even if you've got a wart that decided to pop up. those aren't painful. i think youd feel a herpes outbreak before a wart. dont worry tho, bc i understand your worries!! just literally waiting anyday for something to happen.. the anticipation n not fully knowing makes it worse. the best thing you can do it kind wait it out, and see if anything pops up for him to swab. i feel like if you had a active lesion , shedding could be picked up rather it was a open sore or not. 🤷 but the burning on the inside ive dealt with that for a long time, it happens from time to time, not sure why and neither does my ob.

wanted to update....Just went back in on Monday for anal irritation and Anal STD testing. Checked rectally and vaginally for Gonno and Chlam and results were
negative. Assuming I am STD free now but still doesnt explain how I feel 8 months after suspected exposure with a new partner (oral, anal and vaginal sex). My symptoms and Google have me thinking I have something horrible.
