Is this herpes?
Posted , 6 users are following.
i had unprotected rough sex wednesday and thursday then the next day I had a slight itchy vulva and watery discharge. Later during the day i had an itch in the same position the bumps were and then then today (saturday) I see these bumps. They dont hurt at all not even to pee or walk or sleep, i can shower and sleep with no problem they are just mildly itchy. Is this herpes?

doesn't look like herpes to me. Did you shave prior to sex?

It looks like some sort of skin irritation, but I would still see a Doc ASAP for a physical exam and swab test to rule out herpes.

If it happens after you shave it could just be pustules or ingrown hairs. That used to happen to me after shaving so my doctor suggested that I just trim, which I've been doing ever since. If the skin irritation doesn't reoccur for a swab test, I would wait awhile longer and get a blood test for both HSV1 and HSV2. If your body has been exposed to the herpes virus, your immune system needs time to create the antibodies to fight off a herpes infection, these antibodies are what is detected in a blood test. If a blood test is taken too soon after HSV exposure, the antibodies won't be detected and you could get a false negative, which is what happened to me unfortunately. Hope you're feeling better now and hope I was somewhat helpful. Best wishes to you ❤️

hi, did you ever get a blood test to see if this was HSV? I experienced something very similar looking. I was able to get them swabbed 3 days after appearance before they healed, and the swab test was negative. waiting to do the antibody test.
