Herpes or something else? Pics, story.
Posted , 5 users are following.
So I think I may have herpes and it doesn't seem to fit most people's narrative but the symptoms match. Mostly itchy. I haven't had sex in about 3 years and nothing like this has ever happened before. So it's possible a very long incubation period?? I also am kinda back and forth because for the first time I shaved very (way too, whoops) close to the vaginal opening with shaving cream and the wrong razer even (the one I use my legs/pits, I have a separate one but was distracted). The razer already gave me an infected razer burn on the mons, not helped from trying to tweeze some of the ingrown hairs too. So I was thinking maybe I got some sort of infection in my vaginal opening. To get the pictures I really had to pry myself open, the little bumps are definitely not on bigger outside labia parts. So the shaving could be a coincidence or the cause, I don't know.

It does look like herpes, but you are so irritated. You need to get this swabbed and cultured! Are you burning or stinging, having discharge?

Herpes can't be identified visually. I would get a culture done within the first two days of the bumps appearing.
