i had cuts on my vagina that got infected and i was wearing pads with medicine on them and then these bumps appeared... i went to the doctor recently for the cuts and infection and she told me i might have herpes bc of how it look then these showed up but im hoping they are just like a heat rash or something and not herpes bumps image

also i would like to ask if this looks like herpes as well, everything got really infected bc i had a yeast infection and my doctor said it looked like herpes but the guy ive been with just got tested and hes clean so idek how i would get them image

i shaved like a couple days before, but i shaved very soon after shaving a couple days before that bc i was planning on having sex, so im thinking that its infected razor bumps but bc my doctor said something about herpes ive been so worried, also everything healed in like 24-48 hours

    They are not herpes, what they are, are infectious bumps. Most of the time when we have skin infections, we must use oral medicine or stronger creams to sort out the issues. Normally, creams and gels can only take us so far, i do not think its too hard for you to sort out the issue you are facing though. Just make sure you use the strong cream more often. Its best to get prescribed medicine or cream.

    So i got tested, and i apparently tested positive for HSV-1, but i looked up the lab and everything and apparently they are unreliable and the results they gave me didn't make sense. I plan on getting tested again at a FDA approved clinic to be 100% sure. And the guy i was with before the guy I'm talking to now is getting tested and if he comes up negative too, then i had to have gotten a false positive.

    you are so swollen. looks to be very painful. some look like they could be infected hair follicles. but does look herpetic in nature. if you share your results; someone might be able to help interpret them.
