    no expert but I wouldnt say this was typical herpes. How long is it since the exposure?

      its been almost a month . the possible exposure was very short i had a steamy makeout session that started to lead to unprotected sex but as soon as he put it in we took it out and stopped . after that, and before the burning started i had taken a bath in a hotel using their wash . i assumed it was a yeast infection but the burning is still happening and its been about 3 weeks . i also tested neg for chlamydia and gonnorhea

    Hi, you can rule out herpes. Pictures look healthy and blood test is negative. Maybe there's residual yeast...

      okay im hoping its yeast and not herpes or syphillis ....my mind has been everywhere and i really think the stress is making it worse

    Hello, this is not herpes. It looks like it can be a yeast infection or bv. To be sure, do a full panel sti screening.

      okay im doing that tommorrow morning . i tested for everything but syphillis so far and everything was negative . the red area doesnt hurt or itch and doesnt really appear to be open or weeping but still the burning makes me so nervous.

      thank you for your help

    update: i went and got cultures done today she said i should know something by monday . im nervous bc when she swabbed that area it did hurt a little . she also saw no sign of yeast but got a culture anyway . im praying its just irritation the burning after urination and tingling accompanied with this is what has me on edge but again stress could be causing an ms flare up. please pray
