Ive recently have had unprotected sex, the night before i did i shaved and im pretty sure i nipped myself with the razor but i just continued going about my night.. it happens i didnt overthink it. After sex, I had some unusual bleeding but i havent had sex in awhile and figured that was normal. I felt a bit sore the next day and the day after that i realized my vagina got swollen especially the one lip. I took a mirror and it just looked swollen and it hurt a bit.. i felt like the part below my vagina and above my anus was a bit itchy.. The next day i realized ive had this blister, it looks like a cluster to me which ive been researching and obviously what comes to mind first is herpes. I'm beyond scared. Im really hoping its a cut and the sex friction irritated it. But the more i look into it and look at it i just think the worst and i think its herpes. it also burns when i pee since its open and my pee hits it. please help idenitfy or give me any information you might have. please pray for me because im so beyond stressed. thank you guys. image

    For all the symptoms you described, it leads to herpes

    it really looks like herpes honey it doesnt look like razor burn or cut at all. please please be safe and go get checked out by your pcp or obgyn and tested especially if you have the insurance for it, if not look into making a trip to planned parent hood

    this looks like herpes and symptoms sound like it as well. get it swabbed. dont freak out or feel ashamed. its SO common. and normay your first outbreak is the worst so any future ones wont be as painful/bad. some people never have anymore outbreaks at all. keep us updated hon. big hugs

      That made me cry, i appreciate the kindness and support. It really means a lot. Thank you so much. I'm nervous about making an appointment, i know i need to do it tomorrow but im not sure what to say. Do i talk to a nurse first and tell them or should i just be blunt about it to whoever sets an appointment? Especially since i want to get an appointment asap.

      were all on this site because we have had a scare or have something

      a few weeks ago i was certain i had herpes you can look at my post. my results came back negative. i ended up having folluclitis. so you never know, it could be something silly. only way to know for sure is to be tested. my doctor has a patient portal online i can end messages through so thats how i made mine. but you cam just call and say you want to have a yearly exam and have testing

      if you need someone to talk to my pm is open.
