hello all,
let me start out by saying ive tested negative for every STD. ive been seeing someone for almost a year and in december 2018 we decided to stop using condoms. about two weeks later i got extreme vaginal itching then later in the day turned into bilateral cuts. they were not raised, ulcer like, did not hurt to urinate, no flu symptoms at all. they took about two weeks to heal. about 2 weeks after they healed i got it major tingling on my labia then got another cut. this healed in 3 days. since then ive had pretty constant symptoms. the issue is i cant get them swabbed as they heal within a day or so. i get one small cut at my perineum. does anyone have similar experiences? is this genital herpes?!

it does sound like herpes. 1) the incubation period for herpes is usually about two weeks. 2) they do sound like herpes since they seem like cuts and heal pretty fast (most regular pimples dont come and go as fast as your saying, mustve had a rough primary outbreak). but I AM NO EXPERT AND I AM NOT SAYING THAT IT IS HERPES, IT JUST SOUNDS LIKE IT. I would suggest that you go to a doctor and ask for a swab test immediately after you get another cut like that. I would also suggest that you talk to your S/O and take him too to get tested also. Im sorry to hear that you've been having problems in your nether regions, and i hope it all works out for you in the end 😃

Hey! I'm not sure what this could be I'm sorry 😦 Could just be dry irritated skin. If it's a definitive answer on herpes you want, have you ever had a herpes IGG blood test? You could have one done?

I have had similar symptoms. You can read my post, its the only one I have.
However, I did not have the tingling. Which the tingling sensation is a symptom of herpes. I get cold sores and get the tingling. Do you get cold sores at all? Having the test done with cold sores won't say much, because genital herpes can also be HSV1, which is what cold sores are.
I would recommend dropping everything and getting into a clinic the first day if possible. They can do a culture. Check daily to see if there are bumps.
Good luck!
I have had no luck in figuring out what I have. 😃 Doctors are useless. Sorry.

I have not been able to get into a doctor within the first two days of an outbreak. No new results yet.

I have not had another cut to determine if it is herpes or not. I'm checking daily and as soon as I see anything irregular, I'm heading in same day!

I had the same and it feels horrible. My culture was negative (also never had real blisters) but the tingling was so real and the pain that accompanies the cuts is so nasty that I cant explain it otherwise. Plus feverish, headache, super tired all the time.
I would talk to the guy to hear if he has had any STD symptoms in the past and go for the blood test after 3-4 months (my symptems started in januari and I'm doing the same 😦).

I don't get the tingling at all. I didn't have a fever, or headache ect.
I'm waiting for another outbreak and I will go in for a culture that day.

Similar, its a bit larger. Like the top layer of skin was cut off. Always the same spot.
Do you have HSV2?

im Honestly really relieved because it healed and it’s day four so I don’t think it’s anything to be honest just friction and i always Google my symptoms and that’s what makes it worse ,

I've googled herpes HSV2 and yeast infections and the same picture came up! ðŸ˜
I get the cuts once a month. I also use a water based lubricant, and I'm wondering maybe if its a reaction to that?
