i recently noticed red bumps next to my vagina it was after i shaved down there the day after i felt a pain when i was fixing my underwear . i took a mirror noticed red bumps and didnt pay mind to as i had shaved . i was having discomfort with discharge so i decided go to planned parenthood as the doctor is checking me out she says my discharge is normal not heavy i explained it was more than usual no smell no color but it was alot so i was CONSTANTLY changing panties . she said my

bumps could be herpes as they hurt when touched he took it for testing but im terrfied as she sent me medication already even though i kept asking her if im not yet postive why would i need it i was asking her if she truely believes there herpe bumps or razor bumps or ingrown hair she really just ignored and kept on talking about no news is good news . just want advice and to know if it really is herpes every google image i see isnt like mine .

    Hi, I totally get how you feel, I was in the same boat. From the image you've sent above, it does not appear so. All the best!

    Gosh... so sorry you had to go through that! I dislike when doctors assume you just have something without proper testing, kinda unprofessional if you ask me. If it gives you a piece of mind... it does not look like herpes to me. Maybe irritation due to the shaving? Could you be ovulating, hence why you're having discharge? Have you had flu like symptoms or do you have pain while you pee?
