I had this "rash" that atarted out as small white spots, about the size of a pencil eraser. Three of these pots were on the outside of my left labia majora, and three of the the spots were directly across from them on my right labua majora. One of the sopts ulcerted, the others just seemed to start healing. I have had minimal itching, no burning, no flu like symptoms (although I do have a lung infection), and abosolutely no pain. I have been tested but were still waiting on reults and im freaking out. Thanks!

    It does kind of look like herpes .

    But you said it doesn't hurt or cause any pain ..

    And I never had an symptoms either of flu or anything and they diagnosed me with it .

    I can't say .

    Looks can be so deceiving .

    When did you get you go to the doctor ??

      Thanks for your response! I have been to the doctor and have been tested but im getting very anxious waiting for the results. My doctor didnt seem to be worried about it and didnt really say much so im not sure what to expect.

      Sorry to say but yes it definitely looks like herpes best to go straight to a gum clinic not your gp. They are professionally trained in testing for STD. They can tell you straight away if you have herpes by looking at the sores.

      Good luck

      That's exactly how it went with mine .

      My doctor didn't think it was herpes either, she wasn't even going to swab me for it either until I told her too. Your regular doctor isn't always trained in that kind of perspective because mine looked right past it ... I got diagnosed on the 15th of last month my sores and everything healed up you can't even tell I have herpes .., but deep down inside I know I do and that's what kind of kills me .,

      It's a lifetime virus so I can tell you if you don't have it count your blessings and be more careful ..

      If you do have it contact your past partners and warn them let them be aware . Have you recently had an sexual movements or anything. ?
