Please help!!! Herpes or thrush

Posted , 4 users are following.

Early last week I developed thrush after a course of antibiotics and I rubbed and scratched myself red raw. Thrush medication fixed the burning itching immediately but I was left with an open sore near my clit from frequent rubbing. It's been almost a week and the sore is heaps better/ almost healed but definitely still there. I saw the Dr yesterday for an unrelated medical issue and showed her just in case and she suggested swabbing it to rule out herpes.

I am now freaking out!!! I have a new sexual partner

    I won't get results for a few days so am looking for peace of mind until then. Please tell me if you think it resembles herpes. I'm loosing my mind with worry.

    Swab came back positive to herpes type 2. It was quite a shock because my symptoms were so mild that I really thought it was going to be negative. I'm still processing the diagnosis but life goes on.
