I have something like a blister (*PHOTOS*) on the inside part of the right labia.

Posted , 89 users are following.

I had sex some days ago with my boyfriend (the only person i ever had sex with) and yesterday (i think) i felt something stingy down there. It hurts/stings when i touch it and today i decided to look closely at it. It looks like a blister. I am sure it is not a STD because both me and my boyfriend were virgins after meeting eachother and both of us only had sex with eachother. We both are faitfull and did not had sex with anyone else. Since i am in a long distance relationship i see him twice a year (summer and winter) and i first had sex with him and lost my virginity when i was 19 years old (lsummer - 2014). So we met eachother this winter for a week and we had sex 2 times, second time with me being on my period unfortunately. So i don't think it is std since we did not have any other parteners and since is it not a STD transmited from our parents since i had sex with him before more than a year ago and i did not get this blister that time. So as i was saying i noticed the blister-looking thing on my genital area and i am confused of what can it be. (Also i see that there might be other small ones near it but they don't hurt at all and don't feel like blisters. Is it only a blister? Is it because of poor hygiene? Is it because an alergy? What is it and why? And will it go away by itself? I really don't want to go to the gynecologist to be honest. Please help me!

    Back in May 2017, I had a few spots on my labia that looked identical to yours! I had the tingling/burning/itching, etc. I was in terrible pain about a week. The blisters wpuld burst and ooze white fluid. It finally went away before I could see my dr. From what I researched, it was herpes. So, just within the last week...i had 4 more blisters come up on my labia again. I immediately called my gynecologist and she seen me. Shed cultured my area and was 99% sure it was herpes. She put me on 2 grams of Valtrex right away. I took that for 5 days. My blisters are finally gone. I get the call about my culture results today, I am negative for HSV 1 and 2. I'm stunned, because the Dr and I both thought it was herpes. So, now im concerned as to what this can be! I don't know what else could cause this. I asked the nurse, she said she didn't know what else it could be either, to just come back if it comes back.

      It was not herpes in my case either! And mine "evolved" just like yours, with the fluid and all. I used tea tree oil and I did not have and problems since then.

    Please don't panic. As scary as it is, it'll get better. Did you know that herpes can spread from your partner if he has it on his lips? He may actually have one on his lip that's noticeable and not realize it's there until days later when it pops up. The first breakout is the worst. Make sure you get a prescription for Valtrex you can do it just for the outbreak or you could take it every day which I suggest it's safer for you and your partner. Take some ibuprofen for discomfort or inflammation that'll really help 800mg if you can with lots of water it'll help with fever and any achiness and you may have. Try to keep your stress level as low as you can exercise deep breaths take a walk stress makes the herpes outbreaks come out. After sex always wash with warm soapy water and then wash again with just warm water to get the soap off. Make sure you do this every time it's important. Condoms should be worn by your partner. You may even have herpes on your lips or in side your mouth that could have transferred to his mouth onto your vagina and so forth. Herpes is highly contagious. I also had a prescription for Xylocaine cream that you could put on the vaginal area to numb the pain. Good luck I feel free to ask me anything

    I know this is super old, but after seeing the comments saying this is herpes, I HAD to make an account and give my input on this. First of all, no one can say for sure if this is or isn't herpes just by looking at the images. To me though, it doesn't look like herpes. 

    I usually get these painful bumps on my labia majora after shaving. They don't go away until a week or a week in a half later. Sometimes they drain, sometimes they don't. But like I said, they only appear after shaving which leads me to believe that they are from ingrown hairs/my shaving method. 

    Well I went to my doctor today because I'm tired of dealing with this so I just wanted to bring this to my doc's attention. She immediately suggested a Herpes test. She told me it looked like herpes, and I explained to her that it only happens after Shaving but she said she wanted to be sure. 

    Well any other time I would be freaking out over this and worried about my resluts. But I know my body, and I know this is not herpes. There is a trend of this happened a day after shaving. This was happening to me before becoming sexually active which is even more confirmation that it is not herpes. 

    My point is, these sores on your vagina can be from a number of things. Don't just immediately think the worse and assume it's herpes. Don't get me wrong though, it could be.  But I seriously doubt it is. Anyways my doc sent me away with some antibiotics to help the bumps go away faster.

    I get my results in 3 days so I will let you all know. 

    Conclusion: 

    Shaving can cause ingrown hairs that look much like these.
