Hey do i have had a rough go the last few weeks. I was intimate with my partner two weeks ago. Afterwards I was in insane pain when i peed with swelling and sensitivity to touch.

I went to the walk in clinic and was told it was a bladder infection.

A few days later a went to my doc and he did a pap test with swabs because he day a small blister. Since then I have formed 2 ( one larger one smaller) blister like masses on the out side on my vagina.

The lager one have been there a week and has not popped but I am in excruciating pain.

Fast forward a week after texts and everything was negative for herpes could there be anything else it might be ?

Thanks in advance

    What do these "masses" feel like, soft or hard? Do they hurt to touch? Initially, I would have said it sounds like herpes, but you say they tested negative by swab. Have you had a talk with your partner since this happened?

      Oh yes very in depth talks. He has no signs either.

      Swabs can out negative but was given no definitive answer to what it might be. The are hard to the touch and very soar to the touch.

      Gosh, that is rather perplexing! Herpes bumps typically hurt to touch, but aren't usually hard and they end up becoming flat or slightly recessed ulcers over the course of a few days. Molluscum or genital warts do form hard bumps, but these don't hurt and would take longer to appear following infection. What did your doctor say? Have you tried going elsewhere for a second opinion or further testing?

      Genital warts, since they're flat? I really don't know for sure. Best to go back to the doctor or see a gyno.

    Definitely find out whats up. With my outbreak I was extremely swolen and in a lot of pain. Apparently I had an alergic reaction to the lube we tried and the doc almost missed on sore. She actually did more than swab, she scraped off the entire blister and had it tested. My first known outbreak ever and it was awful. Go back to the doctor to dind out what is going on. Taking the wrong medicine can make whatever you have worse.

    Good luck
