Posted , 6 users are following.
it all started in April. My vagina swolen up i had little bumps on my labia and i was full of fear. ive had no clusters like the pictures in google. nor do my bumps seem as big. my dad is a single dad so im super scared to get tested. i complained about an uncomfortable feeling down there to my step mom( Whom used to be an ObGyN NURSE) and she keeps dismissing them as pimples. the other day i had a swell of burning itching and two bumps popped up idk if its a Yeast infection or herpes and ive literally not been able to sleep. my partner says hes been tripple checked and doesnt have anything but the thought wont leave my mind. im going to post a few photos any comment would help rn.

hi, this has recently happened to me too. about a week after sex with someone new, i got the same burning and swelling. then came the bumps. please go get tested. just bc your mom thinks theyre pimples does not mean they are.

was the pus clear or filled with the usual gunk? im not going to lie to you, my OBGYN said to me "yup this looks like herpes" but when i got my results i tested negative. unfortunatley ill be going to get a more accurate test this week bc normal herpes testing is unreliable.

i tested positive for HSV2. i recommend you get tested as well. my doctor told me that even tho my partner tested negative that doesnt mean he didnt have it, men usually have no symptoms and it takes months for herpes to show up in blood tests. unfortunatley most doctors dont communicate too their patients that they need to schedule multiple tests over time to be absolutely sure they dont have it. also if you need someone to help go through this with im more than happy to help!

i went to get a blood test about a week and a half after i had sex. i took an IgG blood test (test for anti bodies for the herpes virus). unfortunatly blood test are hard to rely on since antibodies can come and go especially if youre tested too early. my blood test came back negative. later that week i started developing sores or bumps (3-4) around my labia. i went to get those culture tested (swab of the bumps) as soon as i saw them because culture tests are the most reliable when the bumps are fresh. the swab test came back positive for HSV2 after 4 or 5 days.

That looks like irritation from shaving honestly. Since I've stopped shaving, I never get bumps like that anymore. Try trimming instead. UNPOPULAR OPINION: Shaving opens you up for infections. Hair is there for a reason; it adds a layer of protection against infections and STDs. I got yeast infections and BV like crazy when I use to shave (and also caught herpes) but now i very rarely get either.
