    That could possibly be a herpes breakout, have you had sex recently?

    If you're experiencing pain and it has been there for that long already, you need to go to the drs.

    Keep the area clean and dry until you do!

    Best of luck! ❤

      it stings when i urinate. not the stream, but when it hits the sores. and my lymph nodes were swollen. however , the sores look like they are growing new sores, and i believed that herpes was one outbreak

      With the initial outbreak, it gets worse before it gets better. I would say that looks like a herpes outbreak but you can never be sure until you see a doctor

      Hi Maddie,

      Emily is right its gets worst before its gets better. During my first outbreak I only got one sores till it became 2 to 3 then it started to heal i thought it really getting dry till it multiplied and became more. one sores on top of another sores and beside each sores. i almost stop looking at it cause its so depressing.. to be sure better get tested and have it swab..

      I also been with the same partner for one year when I got my first outbreak. Sores came out 3 days to 4 days after having sex. Someone told me in this same forum that it is possible to have a later outbreak. usually virus can enter to our body whenever our immune system are weak. So probably what happened is my immune got weaker on that time so the virus can able to enter in my body. Not all std can be passed by just having sex the first time. my father is HEPA B positive and has it for long time without knowing it my mom already gave birth to 3 of us before my father find out that he is hepa B positive. Hepa B is 50 to 100% easier to transmit sexually than HIV and yet after having the child and when my father got tested positive my mom test return as negative our doctor said that due to a strong immune system of my mom she never acquire the virus. so we just all got a vaccine so we can be protected. so i believe it goes the same with other virus or std.

      have it check to be sure.
