My gynac doubts its herpes. But I hope it's not. I am so scared and don't know what to do.

It burns while I pee and sometimes when I bend down. The number of sores were less a few days ago but now they have increased. I am using Aciclovir cream for 2 days but I feel the sores have increased after using it.

I don't know how to deal with it

      it started itching on Friday and the sores appeared on Monday. I used anti viral cream for 3 days. I was not sure about the first gynac I visited. She did not guide me or did anything except for just the statement "I guess it's herepes only". I visited another gynac today. and my sores have already healed. When she checked she did not find any open sores except for a 2 small cuts. Do herpes heal so quickly?

      My sores appeared Saturday and its exactly a week with taking the anti virals. I think maybe another 2-5 days for me. Im not sure about the cream, but the medicine does help the outbreak clear up

      Only 2 sores barely visible rn everything else cleared up. I read online that the outbreak is still contagious after thats why I said 2-5 more days maybe. Im taking Valtrex 2 times a day

    that is herpes, so disappointing that your gyn says they doubt it when it's literally open sores on your vagina.
