(https://patient.azureedge.net/forums/images/upload-sm/1281592-637114490676560675.jpg).]()i've had pain "down there" for the past couple days and brushed it off as tears from rough sex or a cut from shaving, but i really looked at it today and saw this. i've been doing a ton of research and i'm scared that it might be herpes. it hurts when i pee, i feel sore in my pelvic area, i've have had watery discharge, and just feel uncomfortable almost all of the time. i'm going to go in to the doctor tomorrow to get tested but wanted to see if anyone could tell me whether it looks like herpes blisters or if it may be from something else. i'm desperate for some answers, please help 😦

      im really hoping so ☹ ive heard that you can get blisters from a yeast infection too. one of my friends who has herpes told me it doesnt really look like the ones that she has gotten since she had more and they were hard and raised, but im still really worried. the last time i got tested was about 2 weeks ago and ive had unprotected sex since then, but the guy i was with says he gets tested every month and he doesnt have it. my mind is just going crazy right now!

      you have to ask him if he was tested for hsv . most std tests do not include it unless you request it

    I'm going through the same thing right now. I was recently diagnosed with a yeast infection and I'm wondering if my ulcers are related to the yt or if it's herpes. When I mentioned it to my doctor and she looked at it she had brushed it off so I'm guessing she thought it was related to the yt. But I'm going back tomorrow to get them swabbed to see if it is herpes.

    The symptoms sound a lot like herpes, yeast infection usually comes along with a white lumpy discharge resembling cottage cheese and a lot of itchiness. But still, get a swab done just to make sure!
