Does it look like herpes?

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all doing great.

I have small bumps on my vulva and vagina since last year (they reoccur). I got them swabbed 3 times and all the times my results were negative. I tested positive for HSV1 which is normal because i have cold sores.

every time they appear i have a little back pain, fatigue ans some muscle pain.

All of the doctors i consulted tell me it´s not herpes. But i don´t really believe it anymore, because the bumps come back every 2-3 months.

i included some photos of my breakout. imageimage

      @mickey09378 it's weird because i tested negative for hsv 2 7 months after my last sexual intercourse! I'm freaking out, because i consulted 4 different practicians and they've all told me it can't be herpes, because my blood test and swabs are negative. But I'm starting to believe it can actually be HSV ..

    if theres no pain or drip or burn then probably not hsv. is it a sore or missing skin?

      @mickey09378 I've had it for almost 2 years now. It reappears quite often.

      I've never seen any sores or anything, just tears. It itches a little but nothing major!

      It may be an irritation. I've been wearing tight clothes at gym and could not shower right after!
