I had sex with a new partner a week ago and everyday this week. I felt extremely exhausted on friday, and now I've got itchy bumps everywhere. There is one sore to the opening of my vagina. when i wipe after i pee, sometimes there is a bit of red on the tissue, but it doesnt hurt to pee. i thought i may have a yeast infection as i normally get one after a new partner, but these bumps keep popping up. so far, none of them are "oozing" but they are sore and itchy, and almost have a little crater in the middle of them. I'm scared to see a doctor in all honesty and I don't know what to think at this point.. im so ashamed of myself right now.

    see a doctor if your really concerned, but dont get tested yet. wait at least 4 more weeks until you do. test doesnt pick up the antibodies until week 5. good luck and hope for the best.

    well its unusual for herpes to be spread out like that. not impossible but not as common. usually its a cluster of bumps. theyre either ingrowns or possibly herpes. you should get them swabbed. if you could try uploading a clearer picture with flash, i think itd be easier to tell.

    it does look like the beginning of a herpes break out. Try to get to your doctor as soon as possible.
