Posted , 2 users are following.

help! started out with irritation. then lots of discharge- got diflucan for yeast infection . didnt go away. ended up with tons of wattery discharge. went to doc, said herpes. never swabbed me, just took blood test (which was negative, but if this is a new infection it wouldnt show up in blood yet) gave me 800mg of acyclovir. redness has gone down and labia looks better but not all the way cleared up. going back next week. please tell me this isn't hsv. image

    how long ago was last sexual contact compared to when this appeared / when you had blood work?

    Im not an expert by any means -- looks a little too symmetrical for HSV... BUT the fact it is clearing up with meds is suspicious. Did you take meds before the blood test as that might also impact your results?!?

    is it possible you are having a reaction to something ie: condom, feminine pad, toilet paper, new soap/laundry soap

    im going through something similar -- been ruled negative for all STDs/HSV -- doing testing for an autoimmune disorder.

    the human body does weird things....

    please update with your results / diagnosis

      two days. it started out as just irritation. i was taking acyclovir a couple days prior due to a cold sore. then diflucan for yeast infection. then metrodonzole for possible bv since it was not going away. Did use different toilet paper- cheap off brand, because people are still buying it up like the world is going to end! i hope its just irritation from a mix of all that. but still have vaginal discharge and some type of wattery discharge from the back end- which im unsure is actual discharge or liquid from these bumps. it looks a lot like psorasis to me, maybe mixed with bv. had blood drawn about two weeks after sex.

      i do have an auto immune disorder, and typically when you have one, you have 3. so im not ruling anything out until blood/urine come back are you experiencing the same symptoms?

      if its okay i will private message you

      just a thought - taking antibiotics usually makes a yeast infection worse (ive read a ton if articles trying to self diagnose as my dr keeps coming up empty)
