Is this herpes?

Posted , 5 users are following.

Hello! I just noticed this milky white bump a day ago. I thought it was just a little ball of toilet paper at first. It's on the base of the clitoris, beside the hood. It looks like a small white head pimple with some red around it. It's fairly sore, especially if I touch it.

I also just noticed this little skin tag looking thing on the inner labia. It doesn't hurt or seem to be inflamed at all.

I have a doctor's appointment booked already, but I'm super anxious that it's herpes or some kind of wart. Any advice on what it could be would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi, Did these appear after sex or just randomly ? I noticed you have several bumps on your labias that look like they could be pimples or bumps. They do not quiet look like a skin tag more of a small pimple. The bump at the base of your clitoris hood is it soft or hard ? Can you pull back your clitoris hood and see if there is an other bumps or sores on it ? Also check to see if it has a unpleasant smell to it. Could be a sign of an infection in the area.

      Hi Kelly! Thanks for responding! It just appeared randomly. I've never slept with anyone who has any STD's, and my partner of 3 years has been tested multiple times before and everything always came back negative. That's why I'm not sure if it's herpes or not, idk how I would've caught it.

      I've always had those wrinkles and small bumps on my labia, they're completely normal for me. My doctor never took issue with them.

      That white bump is pretty small so it's hard to tell, but I think it's kind of soft like a white head pimple that you could pop. I've pulled back the hood as far as it'll go and there's nothing else weird.

      There isn't any funky smell or discharge of any kind either.

    Your clitoris is infected. Its a skin issue, the fact that its painful means you need to see a doctor to take away this discomfort, that will not go away until you sort the issue out. If you try to do something yourself it could make things worse. See your doctor.
