i had unprotected sex on the 2nd of June. About a week later I felt discomfort and then itchyness on the 11th of June. My vagina labia was inflammed and itchy so I got seen. My Doctor thinks it is but he wants to be sure so they did a swab. I am still waiting on results.

    I'm kind of going through something similar. I'm not sure what it is. It's not itchy but when my underwear rubs against it feels a little sensitive. last night it felt a little hot down there but there was no tingling or burning sensation. when i looked down there I saw what looks like fordyce spots but its a little red around the area. it doesn't burn when i pee or touch it, no foul smell, and my discharge is normal. it doesn't look like there puss or liquid on the tiny bumps. they look skin colour. I've only ever been with my boyfriend and we always use protection. he had been with other people before me. i had asked him before we became sexually active if he has ever had any symptoms of a std before and he said no. I'm very confused of what going on. Due to covid me and my boyfriend haven't been able to see each other as much and haven't had sexual contact lately. I'm not sure if its a reaction from soap or something else. i usually just wash with water and sometimes i use soap. I'm terrified of STDs and HIVs and scared to go to the doctor. I haven't talked to my boyfriend about this yet so i don't know if he's experiencing symptoms as well.
