imageI was with a guy for a year, 7 months ago I went and got checked for STDS. I came back positive for chlamydia. Me and him didnt last too much longer after that. Two weeks ago i got checked again and was cleared, but the doctor said i had a roaring yeast infection. I also had sex with an old friend 2 days prior to that. After i got checked i had unprotected sex with him again a couple weeks after. The sex was rough and my vagina was hurting felt torn. We had sex saturday so when monday came i was still feeling sore i checked and seen i had an ulcer. Over the next few days I got another one and there so painful. I was feeling sick like my whole body was sore, chills, head cold etc. I want to know does this look like yeast infection sores or herpes im so scared ?? im also leaking a lot of watery discharge it looks white while it comes out but when i wipe its yellow ?image

    image I had my period last week for about 5 days from the 29th of April - 3rd of May and before I started, I noticed I had white smelly discharge. I shaved days before i started my period. on the second to last day of my period, i noticed a different kind of harsh smell so i was constantly cleaning myself and i ended up accidentally tearing a part of my labia minora from wiping so hard.. on Monday May 4th, i noticed the cut/tear was getting infected and turning white.. i was constantly cleaning with water and later that night I showered ans shaved and hours later noticed A LOT of red bumps all over both of my labia majora. i thought maybe they were razor bumps but then i started to see white sores on the inside on my clitoris hood and on my labia minora. when i realized it, it was later in the day and most clinics were closed .. i had to wait until the morning after (2 days after o noticed) to walk in to a clinic where they did a pap test, blood work, urine, ans swab tests .. the doctor said i was suspicious of genital herpes and i cried so much because i dont know how. I've been with my partner for 5 years and never experienced this. I researched online i started scaring myself thinking the doctor was right. My bf has absolutely no symptoms.. I dont have flu like symptoms either i thought i was getting a minor fever but took tylenol before it got worse. I then found this thread and saw a lot of your pictures look similar to mine. I really hope ots just a really bad yeast infection image

      I was given medication for yeast infection and for genital herpes. The doctor prescribed Acyclovir pills i have to take every 6 hours just in case (which help with sores) and also the vaginal yeast cream that is to be applied externally and internally.

      The first image is today and the bottom image is how it first looked when i noticed the bumps. I spoke to my partner and he reassured me theres no way it could be that. He isn't experiencing any kind of symptoms. The last time we had sex was on the 26th and I started experiencing this on the 4th..

      From my doctor, not yet. Tomorrow will be 1 week since I went in to get a pap done and swabbed. But all white sores are gone with medication given. Just don't know if it was the Clotrimazole cream that worked or the Acyclovir pills .. Hoping to get a call for results tomorrow, otherwise I will call. But I will update when I know.

    imagehi, did u get it checked? ive smth like yours with like a mouth ulcer look alike on my perineum and this happened bfr back in 2018 oct and i got it checked after the ulcer was gone with a blood test, everything was negative but this time round, ive checked with a swab in another clinic since the prev one was closed, and it came out positive for hsv2 but this current partner that im with only had sex with his ex wife and that was all.. so the docs told me that blood test is not always accurate which was the one i did in 2018, and a swab shld be more accurate but im thinking to go to another clinic for a blood test since the ulcer was gone last week. very hard to accept this bcs dont herpes look like a cluster of blisters and not just a singular ulcer with the one i had? furthermore i had yeast inf/thrush when i had the ulcer, could they have mistaken it?

    hi everyone! i am kinda worried as well , I've searched a lot on google and its scaring the he## out of me... until i came to this thread. how this guys looks for you? is it just a yeast infestation or herpes? see the image.. Ohhhhhhh, 😪 I already did the laboratory, urinalysis, cbc, and swab... i will get the results in few more days,..

    from the time the doctor saw these, she immediately said its herpes rashes, as in automatically said that with the discriminatory face! 😒 she prescribed me with suppository, antiviral for herpes and beneto ointment, 3 days had pass already but the rashes seems to be not doing good..

    here's the history, i had sex with my new boyfriend unprotected 2x already with a span of 2 weeks. for the first time, i didn't felt any pain or anything unusual, as well as on the 2nd. I shaved twice in 1 week and did laser treatment. after the laser treatment that's when i felt the pain on that area.. then 2 days go by, i thought it was just a hair growing so i was scratching it.

    and then other history is that, i had UTI even before i was a kid, and so, at my work, I dont really urinate much even tho i fell like urinating because we are always busy, and I have been really abusive to the foods i take lately, sodas, spicy, coffee (black), chips, and its been a habit! and i did had signs and symptoms of uti, fever, pain in the groin area that radiates to my buttocks, pee so little, cloudy appearance, but with a plus! plus some kinda weird discharge, it looks white but when i get on my pantyliner it looks yellowish greenish and these rashes...

    so for you guys, did you had any results?? please share, i am going crazy! 😭 please do pray with me that this isn't herpes.. 😪
