      do they have any type of pain ? are you experiencing any unusual discharge? it does look like herpes to me so you should get tested just to be sure

    Hi Kristen, it's very hard to tell as yeast sores and herpes sores can be easily mistaken. Herpes is usually really painful, but anal yeast is really rare. I wish I could reassure you and give a more precise opinion. Getting swabbed is the only way to confirm.
