Hi so i seem to suffer from recurrent yeast infections, but i know sometimes this could be mistaken for herpes. I got a blood test done and im just waiting for results (which is giving me really bad anxiety) but ive noticed that a particular part of the skin around the opening seems to be extra sore and today i noticed something that looks somewhat like an ulcer but i cant tell, but ive been really scared it could just be mild herpes. Does anyone know what this could be ??? image

    Blood test don't always prove you have herpes. You need to have an external swab done on any sores you have

      i dont really know if its a sore. Its so unnoticeable doctors probably wouldn't see it. It seems to be kind of like a fissure or something but im not sure

    I had the exact dot/ulcer looking thing going on as well but with no pain. Went to my doctor and she told me she saw nothing and everything looked normal down there. I did test positive for Trich but idk if that had anything to do with it.

    well i get back my results in a few days so ill see. I dont really have any symptoms of trich cus my discharge doesn't smell. I don't know if it could be from the yeast infections or if i have vestibulitis. I just really want to know what's going on cause ive been having discomfort for a really long time now
