So I had sex with my best friend of several years. He has never said he had herpes. We had vaginal and oral sex. I know you can get HSV-1, the type you typically get on your mouth, on your genitals. I always get UTIs after sex because I can never go pee. Do since I had one my doctor gave me macrobid. Four days into my meds, 6 days post sex, I start burning and itching. I thought oh goody it's bartholin cyst, but it's not really coming to a head and it's burning pretty bad. The next day I have a few more bumps that are somewhat spread out from each other. Now the picture is the way they have looked from day 1 that they appeared. Usually antibacterial medicine makes me break out or I start throwing up, which I did. Could this be herpes orcould it be something else. And I have an appointment so DO NOT TELL ME TO GO TO THE DOCTOR!

    I can't add the picture but I'll try to describe them. Clear ulcers/blisters. Not red whatsoever, not oozing but i am trying to keep them dry, and i have a couple around my anus as well but those have a head to them and can be popped so I don't know if they are connected to this.

    The way you describe it sounds like herpes ...

    Especially since you said it quite some pain there .

    Any discharge ? Pain when you pee ?

      No pain when I pee, and no discharge not even a little. I'm actually quite dry down there. Which is what has me so confused as to what this is. I have so many symptoms but then there are so many that I don't have. I know it affects everyone differently though.

    Ok so went to the doctor. The nurse practitioner comes in takes a look and says she's almost positive it's a yeast infection, butvtestes me to be sure. They will call in a few days I suppose. Apparently I haven't been paying attention to how much discharge there was. It's actually quite a bit, it just felt so dry down there, and she told me not to worry that the sores from a yeast infection look similar to that of herpes but i would be having other symptoms of the herpes virus if that's what it was. I still don't know and still have to wait a couple of days for them to call back but here's to hoping smile
