Is this herpes? Story and photo
Posted , 6 users are following.
i had not had sex in months, until 5-6 days ago. i think we had so much sex that i experienced friction burn and beard burn from oral. also had shaved prior. (i am sensitive)
since, experiencing itching and discomfort so have started applying hydrocortisone cream which im sure is helping keep me comfortable
i encourage sexual partners to be open about sexual health. i initially put the discomfort down to healing friction burn
now notice some bumps down there and worried its herpes! also feeling like my glands are swollen, no sexual clinics open until monday 😦

i dont think friction would cause that. it does look like it might be something concerning

those bumps are vestibular papillomatosis and are benign not an std or herpes its the sores that are whats suspicious

Hi, mine looked similar and i got a swab and blood test for herpes and results came back negative. I got treated for yeast while waiting for results and by the time results were in everything had cleared up. I am still waiting on my results for all other stds
