      I'm waiting on my results as well. the doctor said it looks like a very very bad yeast infection and doesn't think it looks like herpes but is testing because you never know. Boy am I in pain!

      I hope you start feeling better. It looks like it's painful. I don't think it's herpes from the looks of it.

      thanks. it hurts! the only thing that helps is a warm bath or ice and even then it isn't much relief.

      thanks for the reply. the doctor doesn't seem to think the ulcers are herpes but then again he isn't positive. I've tried searching for pictures but can't find any that look like mine. 😑

You should try cold sore medication. like the lysine lipbalm in a tube. i use it for my cold sores and people say it works great for healing their genital outbreaks quick. ah i wish i could remember the other remedies. theyre all over the site tho! it gets better dont worrh

    this is my 3rd time going to urgent care. Ihave 3 bumps on my vagina & thiiis exactly how my butthole looks !the first time the doctor said it was subtle and he couldn't tell if it was herpes. the othe doctor said it maybe but hes Not sure. The last one said he's suspicious that it maybe herpes but there's a doubt. Ulcers can come from other things but typically around this area especially if u may have anal sex. The person I been sleeping with cam back negative & the guy before him ( two years ago ) said he never had herpes. I'm paranoid because I believe It may be, but I'll keep u updated! This is what I've been doing .

    Taking warm which hazel baths and putting AD OINTMENT. Using with hazel medicated wipes and water after using the bathroom. It's a great relief although.. Still paintul.

      thanks for the tips! I'm sorry you've been dealing with this too! I've been to urgent care 3 times and today I went to the er. I got some pain meds because I can't even go number 2 without burning pain. unfortunately, my husband and I did some foreplay both anal and vaginal and he does get cold sores so it is a possibility. I hope we both get results and relief soon! I'll keep you posted as well! supposed to have results tomorrow from the swab but then again it was supposed to be in on Friday and I'm still waiting.

      unfortunately but we've been married 10 years and together 13 so I would have thought I'd catch it earlier if it were to happen. oh well I just want answers at this point so I can get on the right meds and start healing
