Help! What is this?
Posted , 9 users are following.
It burns, very irritated, maybe slightly itchy hard to tell with the burning and being uncomfortable, it is so red and I've added photos of the progression.
I went to my Dr. complaining of an extremely burning vagina and redness, all the way down to my anus. She said it's nothing - void irritants, I just have a dry vagina. Dr said It's definitely not thrush. I had sex 2 days later and got fissures on my vulvar that night, the next day they were really bad. It's been 5 days now and the scar is still there. And in my Labia is fissured and stings. Now my vulvar has cuts all over it today.
she tested me for herpes yesterday and I won't get the results back until next week.

its just look like sores from having sex that's all. you'll know if its herpes because it'll look like blisters.

OK firstly sex does not cause you to get sores.........nope never heard of this before......any new lump, sore, lesion ANYWHERE on the body needs to be seen by a Dr for a proper diagnosis.
Its very hard to tell without shining a light on your area and having a look, what I see is a combination of dryness, irritated skin & a generally healthy looking vagina on some areas.
Having sex can cause tears/cuts (directly after intercourse) so yes it will burn or sting. its good your Dr has tested you for Herpes anyway, but could be too soon to get an accurate result....
The more you expose the sensitive area below, looking and fiddling the more irritated it will become.
Personally, it looks irritated to me and nothing resembling Herpes BUT I am not a Dr & this is my personal opinion.

I had the burning before all over my genital area before sex which is what prompted my 1st visit to the Dr.. I noticed the fissures starting which is the 1st picture when I went to the Dr. before I had sex and she said it was nothint. that was before any sex 2 days later. I could have had the sores on my vulvar before but I wasn't aware they were there and they irritated more and I noticed.
I hope you're right.
I'm hoping the fissures are just from dryness. but the severe burning is so painful and the burning was definetly there before sex. it's was extremely uncomfortable prior.
I had a few drinks, forgot about it and had sex.
that's when the burning and stinging started getting much much worse.
so basically I've had a severe burning vagina for 10 days and only had sex 5 days ago.

I see, so for the last 10 days or the days leading up to when the burning started, have you been checking yourself down there more than you would? Trust me this can irritate a vagina tremendously!
I cant see any sores though, are you saying you had a sore or sores? as that would change my thoughts......
Herpes can present in many forms, cuts, lesions, pimple like looking nodules but the majority of the time it causes blisters to form, they then burst, and then the healing process starts when they begin to scab over lasting anytime for 2-14 days.
I would advise that you do not have any sexual intercourse until you get a diagnosis - to maybe put your mind at ease a little - lots of conditions can cause a burning vagina (without lesions)

I wasn't checking this area where they popped up as it wasn't burning. I thought I had follicultius. Then today while I was at work my right leg really really hurt, like a shooting pain to my right butt cheek. Than I felt sores rubbing against my stockings. By the time I got home I checked I had about 8 pimple looking sores, somelooked like ulcers where the pain was shooting from. the rest just painful.
I went to the Dr 3 or 4 weeks ago with my bikini line and bottom coveted in a weird rash that wasn't like any thing I've had.
As I was getting laser hair removal on my bikini line but haven't for 10 weeks due to covid.
they were so itchy and painful. as soon as she looked she said follicultius.
I just noticed more pimples things on my bikini line that look like the ones from 4 weeks ago. all clustered.
I think I have a large area covered but with diff types?

Blisters on your bottom? That can be a symptom of herpes, if your partner had an active outbreak of HSV1 on his mouth and gave you oral then definitely this can be transmitted to you below - is this something that could have happened?
