Doctor said it’s herpes but I didn’t get tested. Waiting to set up gyno appt. Opinions?

This started a week ago. My long term bf and i did some rough foreplay. I've had itching previously after sex but it never turned into sores. I had zero symptoms. They never blistered. At the top of the labia majora I've had tearing before if my bf spread the skin too much during oral. I also have what looks like tearing on my perineum. It seemed to have peaked 3 days in. Its slowly getting better. I went to urgent care and she took a look and said its herpes but did no tests other than a urine test which revealed a small amount of protein. I've had normal discharge. My bf has no symptoms. This itching only happens after sex. It has never popped up out of no where. We are in a monogamist relationship, we live together and i whole heartedly believe that he has not been with anyone else and neither have I. I have attached pics of the progression. Is it herpes? Bacterial? Friction? Ingrown hair?

im not an expert by any means, but i doubt its herpes, if it cleared up as quick as it did. I too had some weird stuff going on, a day or so after some rough play.- the itching, red spots, and tears. still waiting on swab tests, but im thinking this could possibly be a friction rash.

I think I saw yours and it looked somewhat similar to mine. I've been all over this site looking for comparisons until I finally decided to post. I have no idea how I could have even gotten herpes unless it has laid dormant for 7+ years. It just seems to be healing too fast from what I’ve been reading. I also have a cyst type lump under one of the cluster that has gone down in size significantly. Thank you so much for responding!

i was thinking the same thing, no way was mine herpes unless it literally laid dormat forever. Also, i was told herpes is usually always inside the vagina too. so if you dont see anything on the inside, but just sores or spots on the outside, its most likely something else.

That's what i thought too. I was looking at other pics of herpes and it looks more like clusters of smaller bumps, not spread out open sores. Today I'm close to getting back to normal. I thought the first outbreak was supposed to last for 2-4 weeks with a slow healing process. I'm at 8 days now and almost clear i think. Haven't checked yet. No pain and no itching though.

thats a good sign! id just make sure you keep track of when you do have rough play, and see if it comes again. if so, its most likely friction rash/irritation. but to ease your mind, you cod always get a swab test if it ever comes back!

I'm definitely gonna check with the gyno and get swabbed just to put my mind at ease. The itching has almost always happened after sex for a few months now and in the same area as the sores but it never got this bad
Looks so much better today! Thank you for your advice! Definitely put my mind at ease. I was pretty sure it was friction

I had one little thing that resembled what you had on my vulva and my doctor thought it was herpes too, but i came back negative for both hsv 1 and 2. Mine was cause from friction and my skin being raw from a yeast infection! so dont freak out too bad, and dont let a doctor just tell you it looks like it like dont even stress until you can get the test because herpes can be confused for a lot of things!

Okay thanks girl! waiting on results. I see that you did a urine test but just thought i should let you know that I have heard those are completely inaccurate for testing for herpes. I would reccomend you do a type speicifc blood test, both IGG and IGM for results. Especially now that some time has passed and seemingly ur in a longterm rship so the blood test should be accurate! best of luck babe
