Is this genital herpes??

Posted , 177 users are following.

imageAbout two days ago my vagina started itching. When i looked at it, my skin seemed to be peeling. I was able to peel off a piece of skin from my labia minora. Yesterday when I looked at it, it looked like this. It is very painful when I urinate. I don't have any of the flu like symptoms that come with herpes though. I've been with the same guy for three months and didn't notice anything until now. Can someone please help me?! I also have an abnormal amount of discharge, but it doesn't have an odor. image

    hey guys im experiencing a lot of anxiety just like you waiting for my results. no one has replied to my own discussion, would anyone be able to give an opinion?

    i do not have any symptoms. no odour, discharge, pain, burning or itchiness. its only uncomfortable if i touch it.

    ive been with only my bf since feb last year, ive never expeirienced any type of sore since now, its been 4 days since we last had sex. he has told me he hasnt been vaccinated for HPV but i have so i guess that rules that out. i have had a swab and full std screen but i was told it could take up to two weeks to find out, im driving myself crazy thinking about it. any help would be apreciated imageimage

      looks like ulcers which could mean a std looks like herpes but it could be from a roaring yeast hoping for the bestxx

      stay postitive give it a good few years if they was to ever even put a cure out to the public the pharmacys make to much money from it since nearly 80% of the population has it

      hey did u get ur result?

      i have the similar thing like yours.

      went to 2 docs and they both gave me different opinions.

      one said it' herpes and the other said it's bv.

      still waiting for my antigen result. but i heard that the antigen tes is not that accurate.

      since in my city, they dont have swab for hsv.

      i am very anxious now. please help

      Did you ever figure out what it was? I have something similar right now and would love some reassurance that its not something too bad.
