I have been back together now with my partner for about 16 months! We had spilt 6 months before and been dating 2 and a half years before that! When we split both of us had slept with other people and both been tested and clear! 

But the other week my outer labia became very red and itchy and some small bumps had appeared.. I didn't think anything of it cause I had just shaved and I tend to get a rash after sometimes! But the bumps then looked like little white heads! After a few days they were getting sore and had popped which cause them to look like little sores!!

I haven't slept with anyone since getting back with my boyfriend and he says the same but I know you can go a while without having symptoms! 

Also been getting a lot of white discharge but doesn't really have an odour! 

Can this be anything else other than herpes?! My boyfriend didn't seem too bothered by it and put it down to follicullities as I had just shaved! 

Any help would be appreciated!!

    I would go to your doctors asap and get it looked at and a swab test on the sores. Looks like herpes but don't trust my judgement! Does it hurt when you pee?

      I have no other symptoms at all! I'm fine in myself, doesn't hurt when I wee nothing! Just these!

      But unless my boyfriend has cheated it must of been dormant a while as I have never had anything like this before! But he has never had symptoms

      My doctors is ridiculous for trying to get appointments! It's normally at least a week wait

      I don't know how England works but I'd go somewhere else tomorrow or today.

    Looks like herpes, but that doesn't always mean that it is, so get them swabbed asap. The longer you wait, the less accurate the swab, after which you need to rely on the IgG antibody test, which has some shortcomings. Make sure the swab is HSV type-specific.

    Did you ever find out what it was? I'm having similar symptoms and went to the doc today but I won't know for sure until Monday.
