Bout a week or two ago I was shaving in’s and I noticed a open blister on my inner libia on the right side I thought I cut myself. But as the week went on it got bigger and look like it started to spread. It could of been a rash. But it started to hurt when I peed and itched really bad. Last night I checked it out and it have gotten worse it’s in my lips now. I tried using diaper rash ointment but I think it made it worse. I also been having discharge more then often which will keep the wounds Moist which is impossible to dry out... I have take several epsom salt baths but nothing help. I never was diagnosed with herpes but doing the research it looks like it. Please help me I’m at my breaking point .... I’m so scared I’m only 18 and my obgyn wont be available until two weeks I can’t make it to two weeks it itches and burns. And feels swollen

      Hey i’m in this same boat unfortunately. I thought it was BV or a yeast infection but now i’m not sure because I noticed bumps. I’m scared to tell anyone because I’m scared it is Herpes. Im also 18 & I have an obgyn appointment in 2 weeks but I feel like that is too long. I had been having sex continuously for 2 weeks with the same guy and noticed some discomfort and dryness. I just thought it was a yeast infection or BV because I’ve had those reoccurring. I just noticed the bumps 3 days ago but it seems like they’re  starting to go away. It hurts to pee & it seems like when I soak in a bath the bumps come back. What did your discharge look and smell like? And what do your bumps look like?

    U don’t want to self diagnose because it’s honestly not going to help either way. You need to see a doctor & have a swab test done. I understand ur obgyn isn’t available, mine wasn’t either. I went to an urgent care & they did the swab there. I would suggest u go ASAP so u can get on medication if u are having an outbreak

    Ok you have to go to the er girl. Get them to swab the legions and the night they will give you meds. When you pee raise your but up. Or pee in the warm bath or under water. I took two Advil’s and then waited thirty minutes until they kicked in to pee. It sounds like herpes. The first outbreak is always the worst so just remind yourself of that.

    I’m going to the er in the morning. I bought some vagisil and miconazole because of the discharge while are giving me signs of a yeast affection. But the itching is still happening. It’s very discomfortable and hard to sleep at night. I also have notice the side of my pelvic gland there is a lump. (I think that’s the pelvic). I can’t stop crying because this is not okay and is so embarrassing.

    Hello, so I was diagnosed with HSV1 today, it took me 4 days before I could get in. I got in with any doctor I could because I was in so much pain. There's very little you can do to help but here's two things I've been doing that have made me more comfortable. My doctor told me to use orajel, on your libia is fine just don't put it in inside your vagina. Another thing I've done is use baby wipes and pat instead of wipe. I also have been taking a baby wipe and folding it in half and just setting it in between the libia. Don't put anything inside your vagina. But that has helped me immensely. It prevents the sores from rubbing together. I put on orajel then set the wipe there and it has made it so I can comfortably get through a work day. And I've been leaning forward when I pee to help prevent the urine from going down the back towards my sores. Make sure to clean yourself good with a body shower everyday and wear loose fitted clothing at night. When I sleeping just clean myself and don't put anything their. These are odd things but my doctor okayed it. I hope this helps till you can be seen! I recieved medication today as well so it should clear up faster. Best of luck! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

      I forgot to mention their are several different stages. You can Google them to see where your at with it. Mine went from red bumps/sores, to blisters, to open lesions/sores which is what I'm at now. Apparently they also scab over then the scabs fall off. But you don't always go through all the stages. I had discharge as well. My doctor checked for an infection but I've read it is part of it. Hope this helps.

      I usually get discharge during future outbreaks and I have to put a bandaids over the sores because they stuck to my panties

      That sounds painful to remove. Try a baby wipe. Just place it there. It's not as painful to remove. Make sure you fold it long ways so it goes to both sides. It'll somewhat stick to your skin. But then the wipes rubs against itself and not your skin.

      I don’t find it that painful to remove as I keep it there for a couple days and need something stable when I’m walking around at work and what not I put a mixture of tea tree and coconut oil on the sores under the bandage
