Hi there! So, 4 days ago I had unprotected sex and the next day I noticed my vagina was very itchy, inflamed and my discharge was white and watery. I assumed it was a yeast infected and got medicine for it yesterday and I’ve been using it for 2 days, but today I noticed a line of bumps on my vulva and it’s the same shade as the skin. At first I thought it was Vestibular papillomatosis but I’ve come to find out that VP isn’t suppose to be itchy and sensitive. The yeast meds seems to be helping with majority of the discomfort but I’m extremely concerned about the bumps. The only side effects I have for herpes is the bumps so that’s why I’m still not 100% sure if that’s what it is.

 I would get tested but with my financial situation it’s not possible at the moment.

    Update: I just talked to the guy I slept with and he said he was tested and came back negative and he was going to get tested again next week but I’m nothing to assume anything. I’ll keep updating on any changes.

      This picture is zoomed and cropped so with the naked eye it looks more like really small bumps instead of blisters. I have little to no itch, doesn't hurt to pee, no swelling, no flu like symptoms, no pain in pelvis. The only thing is that when I touch the bumps/blisters it just feels like im touching a fresh scratch.

      I still have thick, white discharge but it doesn't smell.

      Keep calm. This is not herpes. May be other infection or inflammation.

      your symptoms may not be herpes, This can be a vaginal yeast infection or something else. Let your doctor know and ask her what exactly infection you've gotten

    I also forgot to include that I was dry when we had sex so could it be blisters from dry sex?
