I think I have herpes, or am I just being paranoid.

I’m 18 years old, recently had sex with an older guy that clearly stated he’s been with a lot of girls.

About 3 days later this all started with a watery but white discharge, had a tiny scent. Went felt sore but thought it was just being really rough. Went to my doctor told my it was a yeast infection. He took a look at my vagina and said he didn’t see anything abnormal, he took swabs. A couple days after I notice one little bump on the inside of my labia, being an idiot I popped it and white clear fluid came out. Not feeling a lot of discomfort we did use condoms, but he did perform oral sex.

    Go back and ask for a swan test of the lump to be sure. 

    It could be herpes but to be honest the first outbreak for me and many others has caused horrendous pain so if you aren’t in pain it could well be something completely innocent xx

      After I popped it felt uncomfterable, i wouldnt have never noticed it if I didn’t feel it. It blends in and didn’t look red, a raised bump. I’m gonna wait for this swab test to come back, but how would I get a result if he didn’t swab a sore??

      I think they have to swab a sore for a result so if he didn’t it will probably come back negative. 

      My sores looked like an ulcer they weren’t lumps more like patches of white like a mouth ulcer looks and then as they started to heal they turned into scabs
