panicked a bit

I have no clusters really and no open sores. Honestly they look just like the razor bumps I've had in the past. I've been with this guy for 3 months now and this is just now popping up. I'm just hoping the skin in my nether regions has finally just had it with all the shaving.

I get a little panicky when i have a new partner. I was with the same person for 10 years and have no had many partners so every little itch or weird thing I kind of freak

What will happen if I don't go quickly? There is no cure for it right? I'd rather not be embarassed if it doesn't seem completely that way. Honestly, I've been shaving almost daily down there and the only pain I really feel which I've felt before when I've shaved down there is where the hair is growing back in. Typically the only way to relieve that for me is to wait it out or shave again which the second isn't an option as to not further irritate the area.

 

I'm not sure what would happen. The bumps would probably get worse as your other symptoms too. I was in pain that's why I went to the doctors. And I had some red and white bumps. But my vaginal lips were pretty red. I would rather go to the doctors just to make sure. They won't judge you.

Hey there.I had the same experience with the bumps.I shaved my vagina felt a couple of bumps and was like watching in the world was this .thought it might of been razor burn .so the next day I woke up to severe itching in and around my butt area and on the inside and outside of my v aginia.burned when I peed hurt when I went to the bathroom felt really roar.my husband rushed me to the er and as soon as they looked at my vagina they said u got herpes 2 so they did a swab and blood test and came back positive.I never thought it can happen but it can.first outbreaks the worst.I was diagnosed last year and had 5 severe outbreaks since..

Does your husband have it?

Yes he does

How long before they would open and ooze...some of these bumps ive had a whole

Thing is ive had this same issue when i shaved in the past which is why i don't like to shave there. I just didn't have the great because i was in a monogamous relationship...

The first picture looks like razor bumps but the second look a little suspect. It may not be but for peace of mind go get tested. I only had one bump it did not blister nor did last have clusters. I thought it was just an ingrown hair pimple but I was wrong. Best of luck to you. I know what u are going through I just got diagnosed a week ago so I'm still dealing with it.

Hi ashley71071 I'm waiting to here about my test results. I'm pretty sure I have GH. Have your symptoms gotten worse since the first bump?. I thought mine were getting better but now I have a few more bumps on the outside of the vaginal lips. I started meds 4 days ago. Would greatly appreciate a reply.

I really hope it is just razor bumps...the ones in the second may look a little different because of the location. I have no bumps inside, only ensign on outside, no oozing just vaginal discharge which could be what's making the second pic look a little weird. Im going to wait a bit and not shave...see if it clears up.

Unfortunately Pearl my symptoms got worse. It was not unbearable but it did hurt. When what I thought was a pimple burst. It smelled horrible oozing pus and blood. I was afraid to put anything on it so I just let it run its course. I did not take rx meds just lysine and a supplement called VS-C. Good luck. Hope it's nothing

How long after you first noticed it did this happen?

I had been having a discharge for about a week called MD he called me in rx for that. Didn't think nothing of it but meds did not clear up the discharge. Few days later later I felt sore and felt pimple. About 2 days later pimple burst. My friend has had it for many years and she said u need to get check I was scare I told my husband what I thought it was and guess what he admitted to cheating. We went got IGg blood test and I was positive he was neg.

Hi ashley71071,

I have a question for you maybe you know more about that specific subject.

You said your husband was negative and you positive but he admitted to cheating.

Do you maybe know why his test results came back negative? Or why he didnt get herpes?

Or is it that he never had an outbreak but has herpes and that's why it didnt show in the results? I've been in a similar situation and just want to really understand that part

Some discordant couples simply remain that way, while others don't. Negative results could be due to not having it, testing too early, doing the wrong test (IgG only or swab), or having Type 1 and testing for IgG (the IgG test sometimes fails to detect Type 1; not an issue with Type 2).

How did your discharge loom

My discharge is gone. I had BV characterized by the fishy odor and am nearly finished with antibiotics. The sores seem to have gone down today. Still there but still no pain associated with them.

Hi, So how do we get tested for hsv 1 on genitals? I thought Igg test would tell you if its hsv 1 or 2?

You can do a blood test but evidently you have to wait a few months for the body to build up antibodies

The test for both types is the same. Swab for lesions or IgG without lesions after 3+ months post-exposure.

Hey sorry but i still dont quite understand. You said "negative results could be due to having type 1 and testing for igg. Doesnt that mean hsv 1 would most likely not be detected if tested for igg? So im not sure if tested 3 months later would make a difference.

Thanks

The IgG test for Type 2 is more reliable than for Type 1, but the test still catches more Type 1 than not, so it's still worth doing and should still follow the 3-month test window requirement. Hope that is clearer!
