I’m scared it’s herpes

Posted , 1 user is following.

i had my period last week and sex 2 days ago. it first started out as irritation and then blistered up. My friend told me it could be a razor bump but once it started blistering i accepted my fate. It doesnt itch, and I havent had any foul smells or fever, but it is very uncomfortable. I dont know how to post the photos on here

    It sounds like it is herpes. Does it burn when you pee? Herpes burns when you pee because of the open wound, but it only really hurts the first time. The first outbreak is always the worst. Don't stress about it because 80% of the world has it and it's just a skin issue. I don't even classify it as an STD because it can be anywhere on the body. Make sure you don't touch it and when you do, wash your hands immediately. During the first outbreak, there's a possibility that you can spread it to other body parts, but after the first one it'll stay in one place. Get a swab done and don't stress out about it.
