Help, waiting for results but extremely anxious.

Posted , 1 user is following.

I had protected sex this past Sunday, 3/3 with someone I've had intercourse with before. Both of us also have other partners, as we're not in a relationship. Monday i missed my BC pill, and doubled up as soon as i realized on Tuesday. later that day i noticed very watery discharge (no odor or color), almost felt like I was peeing myself to the point i had to wear a pantyliner. Discharge continued into Wednesday which then turned into spotting and saw my gyno. He did a routine pelvic exam, but when i asked him about the abnormal (for me) discharge and spotting, he explained it was likely my birth control not being right for me. I have been on two different BC since November, which have caused spotting for me.

Thursday rolls around and I have no severe itching, burning or tingling that i can recall. Sometimes my panties will rub my pubic stubble the wrong way and cause me to itch or be irritated, but nothing too extreme. i woke up today (friday) to check my lady bits out, as I've been compulsively doing this entire week, and noticed two small spots about a cm away from each other (almost sore like) on the lip of my vagina. I freaked out and went to Urgent care ASAP since my Gyno had no available appointments until the 21st. The doctor had a look, and said it looks like folliculitis, and irritated skin since ive been touching that area a lot recently. he did a herpes test, and BV testing for the discharge, but I'm freaking myself out to the point i cant sleep.

These sores arent necessarily painful, I didn't notice them until i had a look in the mirror, but they do give me a VERY slight pimple pain like sensation if i touch them. ive attached a photo, and any help/response is welcome. I'm so paranoid. I have had unprotected sex, about 2 weeks ago with a different partner whom I've had unprotected sex with before.

could this be herpes? a different infection? or did i irritate my skin to the point of it breaking and creating these ulcer/sore like spots?

    side note: those tiny bumps on the inner lip to the left of the sore/ulcers have always been there.

      another side note: I have given both partners oral sex, but haven't received it. I have no cold sores or open sores in or around my mouth.

    I'm praying that you don't have herpes!! But it's kinda looks like the first stages of genital herpes..

      I'm hoping too. Today theres no open sores or scabbing, bumps changed color to red, and I can only feel them when I run my finger over them. Not sure what it is at this point.
