I had rough dry sex saturday and sunday.

of course monday I woke up tender. the tenderness felt like cuts on my vagina opening. the thursday I scrachted out of frustration. then woke up the next day with an open wounds nothing oozed. saturday I felt fine but went to the doctor she said she thinks it looks like an outbreak. Korea has a bad habit of misdiagnosing black patients because they not used to seeing them. I took antivirals sunday and today the would is practically gone. I can barely see it and can't feel it at all.

please have a looks and let me know what you think.image 07/01!

    I'm experiencing a somewhat similar tear and I'm not sure what to do exactly 😕 Mine is below the vulva so I've been applying a tiny bit of Aquaphor after I wash the area but I hope you get some advice/relief!

    Hi camilla,

    I presume they took a swab for herpes? That will help to confirm their suspicions.

    Referring to the photo taken 4th July- there is a small superficial ulcer (?) on the right vulva, just below your finger. Was this from scratching or something else? I ask because this can't be from rough sex.

      weirdly enough that is nothing. not a lump or ulcer or pimple I think. the camera flash picked it up because I can't see it in the mirror. do it might be discoloration. I specifically looked for it after I saw the picture.

    Hi camilla,

    Sorry to hear that herpes has been confirmed. You will get over this in time. About 30% of people in their 20-30s carry HSV-2, many without knowing they have the infection. So there is a fair chance you'll meet someone already infected at some point in the future. And if 30% of women carry herpes, it follows that a similar proportion will be carrying the infection during their pregnancy as well. Very few of these women (probably <2%) will encounter a serious problem such as neonatal herpes and if you alert your midwife/obstetrician that you've had herpes in the past they may offer you prophylactic aciclovir in the last weeks of pregnancy to ensure the baby doesn't come to harm.

    Stay positive, it's quite common, good treatment is readily available and as your immunity to herpes develops you will experience fewer outbreaks.
