Is this typical of genital herpes, or something else?

Posted , 4 users are following.

herpes outbreak or something else? Had sex with a new partner for the first time about 10 days ago, for several days straight . About 5 days ago, i thought i had a UTI based on burning when urinating and inability to fully urinate so went on an antibiotic and had a swab done to test for BV, STDs, etc. Waiting on test results. In the mean time i have developed 4 small red pimple-like bumps, some of which appear to be turning into small lesions. Also have a tear (pictured on lower portion of labia) from rough sex that my gyno pointed out but was not worried about. i developed 3 of the bumps about 3 days ago, and woke up with a 4th red bump this morning. I have also developed swollen lymph nodes in the groin area which are causing pain, and a yellowish discharge. Is this herpes? or could it possibly be associated with yeast or another STI? would appreciate any helpimage

    i think you should go back to your gyno & have her take a look and get a pcr swab for herpes.
