Razor burn? friction rub through intercourse? Help!

Posted , 98 users are following.

Recently had intercourse with my boyfriend and this is the first time something like this has ever happened. I know for a fact we are both std and hpv clean because we both went to the doctor together for tests. We only have sex with each other.Both sides of my labia stings when stretched or even when i put a finger on it. It seems like the skin completely came off. As well i found out that there are multiple sores around my anus area. I'm confident that it could be from friction burn, but its hard to identify and research about it if it looks similar to herpes. At first i thought, the pain was from getting used to his size, but it started becoming difficult to wash the area at all. I always wash my vagina after sex and atleast 3 times a day, but now i've been washing it more than ever. I also checked if he had anything with his penis but it seems to be completely clean and normal I have also shaved right before we've had sex, so maybe the intercourse had irritated the skin? Has anyone ever recieved these before?

    im going through the same thing as of right now i also did research it said herpes and i panicked. it is most likely to be razor burn i recently shaved and this was the outcome. i have learned my lesson not to always believe the internet or shave again

      if it was to be herpes my test wouldve came back positive in my highest suggestion this may be an infection from the razor maybe a dirty razor sharp blade dry skin this can result to anything other than herpes besides i havent had any symptoms

    i had the same thing happened to me, i went in for a checkup because I WAS so scared, my doctor told me that it isnt herpes its BV, whatever that is and prescribed me metronoizole. i hope this helps, saying its positive for HSV-2 but it isnt a STI, but it could be cleared up once i take my meds for 7 days
