Posted , 3 users are following.

 have psorisas which causes dryness and red dots around my genitals. the last 2 months been on a contriceptive pill and taken anti biotics for being sick. the past 5 days i have been itchy had a burning type sensation when I urinate (which is getting better but hurts to wipe) and had a light yellow white discharge. I have experianced period like cramps in my lower abdomen and lower back. Is this herpes im getting tested but been freaking out all weekend.

I have attached 2 photos. one has circles around it and you can see pimple like spots on one side of my vagina and the bottom circle is inflamed and swollen which is causing the most pain. what do you all think? could a sever yeast infection or bv cause this

    hi I have psoriasis too, but I am diagnosed as having genital HSV1. I think you should really go get tested to be on the safe side because like you I had painful urination which I thought was just a UTI. I went to get checked out and the gynecologist noticed a small flat red patch and pointed it out to me. I told her I had psoriasis and it was possible it was just that.she ended up swabbing the patch and it came back positive. best of luck

      really. hmm I hope I'm in the all clear I had a blood test and swab done so I'll just have to wait it out for the results.

      What other symptoms have you got.

      I'm some what preparing myself for a positive just so If it happens I haven't been over looking it.

      for me it started as soreness around my vagina but I thought that was due to the sex. 3 or 4 days later I began to have these aches in the legs but didnt think too much of it at the moment. Once I began feeling the aches in my legs it began hurting everytime I went pee as well. went to PPH and got swabbed pretty much 1 day after that those flat pink patches I was hoping was my psoriasis turned into blisters. so it was undeniable at that point. a week later I got the call. it seems you have a calm out look on the situation which is great. whatever your results are it's ok im sure the doctor has gone over something with you and its totally manageable! Ive had the virus for over 3 years now.
