Does this look like herpes or yeast infection sores ?

Posted , 170 users are following.

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

      so that is exactly what mine looks like, i havent had any other symptons of it being herpes, i went and got checked yesterday and wont know until next tuesday, im taking medicine right now too just in case as well. im worried but feel a little better knowing that it could be a bad ass yeast infection since thats what i thought it was in the first place, until i noticed the bumps that came a literal day after all the signs of a yeast infection did. what do you guys think.

    • Posted

      see same they treated me for herpes just in case i just got my results and it came back negative i got blood work done and they swabbed the bumps and it was negative only thing they said was that i have/had alot of yeast

    • Posted

      mine was similar i got tested for everything came back negative for everything but postive for yeast the do tor said i had alot of yeast

    • Edited

      thats extremely reassuring thank you so much, im prepaired for the worst, but it eases my mind a little to know that. im glad you were okay too.

    • Edited

      yes ! and another one to but i dont remeber the name & girl your welcome!! i was so scared to and did the same prepared for the worst but i fixed my mind to it on if i did have it i did alot alot of research on herpes and came to the relization its not as bad as society makes it but obv its still not something youd want ive bought the 7 day yeast treatment so we shall see hopefully everything goes away n is normal again after ,im still do another testing here in a few weeks after i finish the yeast med/cream just to really make sure and im still stay caution but yes def try not to stress cause i read if you do have it and your stressed out it causes more outbreaks n id just overall unhealthu

      You should retest for hsv in 12 weeks. With a bee infection the IGG blood work will most likely be negative. Also swabs of the sores are only really accurate the first 2 days. I'm not trying to scare you at all. I have just seen so many misdiagnoses including my own!

      New not bee.... darn my phone.

    • Posted

      if the blisters didnt open yet and they were able to pop them to get fluid wouldnt it still be accurate?

    • Posted

      yes and thats what im going to do , see n they swabbed them to but yes def going to

      what did the bumps on the male look like? my partner got so many horrible ulcers around his groin after my bumps showed up (that looks like yours) so im hoping its yeast too but im scared for him

    • Posted

      its not herpies.you can get a bacterial infection, and the dry is just from rubbing, should clear up in a week . dont shave , dont be touching it

    • Posted

      File size is too bigmine looks similar yours I'm hoping its just yeast seeing as how i had one not to long ago. I haven't had sex in almost a year so i know it shouldn't be anything sexually transmitted especially since I've been tested four times since the last time I had sex. I'm just so scared because my cousin was just diagnosed with herpes and HIV/AIDS we live together he was really sick and i was helping take care of him having to be in close contact with his blood and I'm scared to death. I know only transferable by blood from blood to blood but just my luck I partially chopped my finger off Christmas day. I have an appointment with my dr on the 14 where i am going to make him test me for everything but i cant get into my gyno to check my vagina until march.

      he did. we used protection but he got it right after me and we only did it twice - both protected

      really hoping so! before getting tested doctors still prescribed valacyclovir thinking its herpes anyway ugh

    • Posted

      doesnt look like herpies, dont be touching them or shaving , dont be using the same towel to dry urself

    • Posted

      its not herpies. its just a bacterial infection. its like if you or ur bf shaves.. it leaves open wounds cause of shaving & then when you have sex, sweat and friction from like banging ( bodies slapping) its just irritating it.im bad at explaining, sorry.. but go to the doctor & they will prescribe you medicine for bacterial infection. its gonna get worse, before it gets better. dont touch them,it will spread more,and no sex. & no shaving. and its gonna start to hurt when your pee touches them, so try to pee in the shower or pour water on your vagina when you pee.

    • Edited

      i had some , exactly like that. my bf didnt know he had some & then like a day or 2 later i got it. so i went to go get tested fot stds & they said i dont have anything . it was a bacterial infection.domt scratch it, it will leave scars mime lasted for like a week.

    • Posted

      its been a little over a week and im finally finding some relief. theyre not nearly as painful anymore, thank god. it was the worst

    • Posted

      how long did you wait to get tested? i have this new fear of false negatives lol. like if i get tested too early itll come up as negative even though i actually have it

    • Posted

      i am so sorry to hear about your cousin. do they know how the got it? prayers to your cousin. And i doubt you contracted anything but always better to be safe then sorry

    • Posted

      im exactly the same.lol i start to think what if they mixed my tests with someone else . & if the sores are there,its not too early.i waited like 4 days to get tested .

      @dolly77114 I'm going through the same thing. what type of bacterial infection was it?

      Did it disappear on its own or is medication required?
