Hi. A week ago I posted about a bump I found on my labia major that I was worried was herpes and popped it and it refilled and came to a head and popped with puss and blood. A pimple *sigh of relief*. I might as well add now that I have severe anxiety and have even had to take medicine for it. Me not being satisfied that I was okay found another bump that was totally different. I freaked out but you could see the hair in it and I learned my lesson from the first one not to bother it so after a few days the hair started coming out. Infected hair. Few. Still, worrying everything I find I think is herpes. I had read that herpes can cause leg pain and now my legs hurt. Mainly just one. But really only when I think about it I think. If I'm sleeping and wake up it doesn't hurt until I realize it doesn't hurt. A week ago my mom got me otc medicine for a yeast infection. I had some slight discharge that was whitish and a few days before this my boyfriend had fingered me and said it smelled bad. I didn't have a lot of itching but there was some slight white discharge. So go figure the day I get the medicine my period comes. It was a vaginal insert medicine that said to do it even if you were on your period. I did it and I kinda burned a few days after but that has stopped. Now, I have no lesions, blisters, bumps, or ulcers. I haven't had a fever at all, no swollen groin lymphnodes, no flu like symptoms. Below my right butt cheek if I press it it feels like it could be bruised but there is nothing there. I've looked for lesions or blisters in my anal area and there is nothing. I've done nothing but Internet research since this all started and I read you can have internal herpes. Now my actual vagina hole is sore. Its been sore before but after reading this its been sore all day today. It doesn't burn it's just sore. Is it possible my anxiety is causing all this? I don't have irritation my vagina isn't sore to the touch. After learning about internal herpes I got a mirror and tried to look in my vagina. I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like but it's kinda pink I don't really see anything that looks like a blister? There looked to be some milky discharge but it's not coming out or anything. I got some out myself and it had no smell and was kinda thick and white and looked a little yellow once i got it on toilet paper. But inside it looked white. And up inside my vagina doesn't hurt just basically the hole. Could this be from a yeast infection that didn't get fixed with the otc medicine? If i had bv could the yeast infection medicine do this? Or something else? I know I sound absolutely crazy. I feel crazy. I get myself to a point where I'm fine and then I freak out that I have it again. I didn't go to school today because I was having anxiety so bad over this. I can't sleep. This has been going on for 2 weeks now beginning with that first bump and so far everything has been nothing. But my anxiety keeps making me feel that everything is herpes. Does this sound at all like herpes? Or am I a major anxious hypochondriac? Thanks for any replies that help

    I feel ya I've been panicing all day. In all honesty just go to the doctors tell them you want to be checked for herpes and find out that way. Bc if you keep this up your gonna freak your self out completely.

    Not to scare you but it sounds like you have bv. OTC won't fix that. But stop freaking out about herpes! Your just scaring yourself, you will be fine. I would go see a gyno tho, get tested for bv and get that cleared up =)

    Please take peoples advice and get checked out, stress will make Herpes or most things worse, so you may never get a good diagnosis. The only way to be sure is to get professional help. Easy for me to say but try not to get too upset. Even if you have herpes, life goes on, as plenty of good people will tell you here. One step at a time. Take good care of yourself.

    You should go get tested That will

    Be the only thing to put your mind at ease just prepare yourself for the results either way. You'll drive yourself to the point of insanity. Trust me I learned the hard way.
