Not sure if these are herpes??

Posted , 2 users are following.

I had unprotected sex over 2 weeks ago and had some itching. I thought it was a yeast infection so i got monistat 3 and finished it. After i was done i noticed bumps. They itch and burn when i touch them like after i pee. Not sure if it is allergic reaction to monistat cream or herpes?? HELP!!!image

      You need to go in and get them swabbed ASAP! It could be, hard to.tell from the picture.

      If it is, youll need to take antivirals 4 weeks before you give birth to limit the risk of transmission during a vaginal birth (you do not need a C-section).

      If its not, great, but definitely when you're pregnant, it's best to know than ignore it and put the child in harm's way during delivery.

      By the sound of it, i think it could be. although it wouldnt necessarily be from the last person you had sex with, could have been a carrier for a while and not known!

      Go get them swabbed! you want to make sure youre within 72 hours of them showing up to avoid a false negative.

      Otherwise youve got to wait 4 months to tet an IGG type blood test.
