    Looks like it could be the start of a herpes outbreak. I'd get to a doctor or clinic soon to get them swabbed as that's the most accurate way to get an HSV diagnosis. Timing is key though, as there should be fluid to swab and it shouldn't be too far along in the healing process. I'd say try to get in by the end of the week.

      Is there any chance it could be something else? I have really sensitive skin that gets irritated easily and my underwear was irritating me quite a bit yesterday. I also saw another post on here that looked almost identical to what I have and they ended up having a fungal infection and a bacterial infection. Any thoughts?

      it can be from bacterial infections and yeast infections or from sex and/or vaginal trauman. Not necessarily herpes at all, just better to think it can be to take this seriously (and test it good luck

      There is always a chance it's something else but there is no way to know for sure if you don't get tested...
