Does anyone have any idea what this is?

Posted , 3 users are following.

I recently noticed these on me Wednesday after my s/o used a condom (thought i usually get yeast infections from them but never this bad), I'm not sure to eliminate hpv just yet, though I was cleared in September. Could it be another infection or herpes?? There is also very visible vaginal thrush starting to happen...

    Hi, I'm not sure but you should get a swab just to rule out any std

      Okay, I might end up going to a different clinic because even though I told my doctor about them, she didnt take any swabs. The only tests she gave me was a blood and urine test..she also gave me mupirocin.

      New update: just came from a visit with my new doctor and results came back positive for HSV-2, I'm not sure how to tell my partner.

      I'm sorry to hear that. I know it's difficult but it's the best thing to do. There are good chances he gave it to you or is a silent carrier. A lot of couple work it out and live a pretty normal life. It's just a skin disease. I heard that Lysine supplement do wonder to keep the virus dormant. You got this. Chin up.

      Thank you so much for the encouragement, we've been working things out and we're now waiting on his appointment so that he can get tested! I definitely will try the supplements to control the outbreaks.

    Quick update about the sores, literally the day after i went to my appointment and did a few tests , there ended up being bigger sores in a whole different area. I haven't been able to check every area because its a bit swollen and a bit painful to touch. Here are update pictures... I am currently taking mupirocin so I'll update on that as well.
