hello i noticed about 5 days ago a cut appear by my clitoris accompanied with itching which ive had before and its gone away (presumed yeast infection) however its now turned white and the opening to my vagina is extremely sore and swollen with white spots on it also. it is very very painful. could it be herpes? theres also a fishy odour and discharge. i have no flu like symptoms

i have had the same sexual partner for 3 months now and he was previously in a 6 year relationship and has had no other sexual partners whilst sleeping with me. i suffer from recurrent yeast/bv infections

    Hi, there are small bump under your birthmark that is concerning too and look like a herpes sore. However, with your history, it's possible to be a vaginitis from hell. You should get a swab test as soon as possible

    I had a cut by my clitoris like where my vaginal lips start and itching too . I thought it was yeast infection but after a few days small blisters started to appear and when i went to the gyn she was very surprised and told me that my blisters doesn't look like usual herpes , but it was confirmed and after that we found out that my partner had HSV1 on his mouth and passed it out to me through oral , he didn't know though that what he had was herpes because it was very mild almost like a small pimple. My flu like symptoms started after taking the antivirals.

      seems to be common that people think their first outbreak is a yeast infection and that it starts with cut like sores. im still waiting to see which type of hsv i have. how many outbreaks have you had since your first? i have two days of my anti virals left and the worst has passed thankfully, still waiting for a few sores to heal
