    its hard to tell but it does sound and look like herpes. whatever you have, its abnormal so i would get to a clinic asap.

    I agree that this is exceptionally suspicious for HSV. Does your partner have a history of cold sores? Your follicles being open from the wax would make you more susceptible to catching an infection.

      no not at all he has never had cold sores neither have i! and nothing has popped on him since me and him have been together. and we have been together for 5 months almost 6. and nothing like this has ever popped up on me or him and im not sure if its from the wax it could be because i havent expoliated after.

    It does look and sound like herpes. Just because you never saw anything on him doesn’t mean he doesn’t have it. Most people never have any symptoms.

    It looks like them lesions are in more then one spot in one picture? Have they spread around.

    You skin is so sensitive after a wax you shouldn’t have any kind of sex right after.

    But i definitely think you need to get swabbed.

      also my vagina skin is two toned so the other white dots that are not on my outer lip in that one area is my skin!

      If I was you I would ask them to also swab the area.

      Are those little bumps always there? The two little raised areas? They look like they are fluid filled. Looks like herpes to be honest.
