Is this a herpes sore?
Posted , 6 users are following.
I posted not a week ago stating that I had found a sore on my clitoral hood but never posted a picture. I haven't had any other sores and had thrush like discharge so just put it down to tight jeans and irritation. I had spots on my pubic down that the nurse said was folliculitis so waiting on my results it's just driving me insane because I know I have it because I've had all the symptoms I just don't want to accept it
ps sorry for the graphic picture

looks like it could be but also could be from irritation. any other symptoms? how long after sex or oral did it appear?

It had been 4 days but he hasn't had any symptoms. This is the only bump on my vagina which resembles a sore. I've had all the classic symptoms like itching and tingling so I kinda know it is but don't want it to be. If my first outbreak has been so mild does this mean that hopefully I'll only get mild outbreaks? Also, does the location suggest that it could have been transmitted orally or do they pop up anywhere? Sorry for all the questions

The results came back negative but the sore was barely there and you could only see a mark of where it was so going again Saturday as it doesn't explain the other symptoms I'm having 😦

the ones your describing on the follicles are common when shaving yeast could be causing ur sores if u have had a negative test for herpes

they should have done a blood test as if the sore was almost gone it wont have been a reliable test there needs to be fluid there in order to swab

The first photo was taken Saturday evening and I got it swabbed on the Monday morning. Do you reckon that was too late? There was still a mark, it just didn't look like that 😕

the sores need to have some kind of fluid there for it to be reliable if it was a crusty scab u should get a blood test to be sure
