    I would get tested. hpv bumps turn white when they are acidic but also stis like chlamydia and gonorrhea sometimes people have no symptoms at all. If they arent hurting by your vulva i would guess youre fine but test to be sure!

    Hi,

    I'm not sure what to look at... you have no symptoms (blisters, pain), no usual discharge or smell and itching just for a day? What are your concerns then?

    Are there bumps on your pubis? The second pictures is so blurry... is that a sore in the middle? I see some redness in the third picture?

    What is your sexual history? Did you try a yeast infection treatment? You have to give us more details if you want some help.

      I don't see anything concerning so far except a bit of redness and irritation. You don't have abnormal discharge but it doesn't mean there's no yeast. You can try OTC antifungal treatment and monitor if the redness goes away. If you see anything looking like an ulcer or bump, let us know and go see a doctor for confirmation.

      Try to stop shaving for a bit to get rid of your bumps. You can take a bath with baking soda. I'm sure you'll be fine 😃

      Yes, there may be redness and inflammation in your vulva where herpes sores will appear. But redness and inflammation is a symptom for most of irritation and disease in this area. This is why both infection are usually confused. Yeast usually itches but it can also cause a lot of pain.

      Doctors can swab your vagina for yeast but if there's no visible sore, there's nothing to test for herpes and doctors will rule it out. There's nothing for you to worry right now. You should try antifungal ointment and monitor any changes.

      I'll check your latest pictures once they are approved by the moderator.

      Herpes breakout can be different for everyone but there are usually classic stages. For the first outbreak, some experience flu-like symptoms and within a few days, sores will appear where you have felt soreness or irritation. The sores turn into painful ulcer that may open before healing. I'm not a doctor and don't have herpes but I've seen many pictures in here and it's usually really obvious.

      You used protection so if you had caught herpes it would most probably be around the vulva where there had been skin to skin contact and not where you were protected by the condom.

      Like I said monitor the apparition of blisters but if there's nothing after a few days, stop worrying. Now it will be useless and toxic to watch yourself every hour. You should start the yeast treatment and verify yourself only in the morning and evening. Otherwise it will drive you crazy. Keep yourself busy to minimize anxiety. You can also do a blood test to have a confirmation if it bothers you too much.
