Sore/blisters around vagina - HELP *picture*

Hi all just wanna say a big thank you for this thread i was showing symptoms from late last week and had no idea what it was. To cut the long story short i have auffred terribly with it. Loss of appetite, lethargy, pain unable to sit down properly and uncomfortable walking far. I have been to my local sexual health clinic and have given me the 5 day anti viral tablets and waiting on the results. They are still spreading a little and they smell pretty bad and can be smelled through my clothes. I find it really embarrising in public and even around my boyfriend im bathing 3 times a day not using any soaps just salt water solution and cotton balls does anyone please have any reccomendations?

Thank you everyone for this thread! I'm new to this discussion and reading/seeing everyone's input has been SO helpful for me! I'm 27... never had anything like this before, but thought if I could share my experience, I could get some input and even help someone else on here as well! About a week ago, I was on vacation and saw a pus filled pocket- I suppose you would call it? Around my left vulva, I was in Texas and I live in NY.. I blamed it on the hot climates which I am not used to. It popped pretty easily and white pus came out. Soon after this, about 2 days.. I noticed blister-like lesions around that same area, the left vulva. It was VERY swollen. But no pain whatsoever. Just itchy. Days before this, my boyfriend and I had sex (protected) and he also performed oral sex on me and had a healing cold sore on his lower lip which I of course didn't realize until after the fact.. so OF COURSE I'm assuming this is all related to herpes. Days after the blisters popped up, I started getting SEVERE pain in the genital area such as burning and even tingling. It was hard for me to even go to the bathroom (which I realize is a symptom of genital herpes), I got the anti virals from my GYN but even he wasn't sure if I had herpes or if it was something else, by looking at it. I have two sores inside my vsgina, but also on the left side.. near my anus it's swollen but they aren't sores. From all the research I've done and by me knowing by body (us women typically do) I'm assuming this is genital herpes, or that it's HSV-2 I believe? Now, since then.. the pain isn't as severe.. but I have a blister on the left side of the back of my leg. Yesterday it was causing me a GREAT deal of pain such as tingling, soreness.. it almost feels like rug burn. I went with my boyfriend to get the culture and blood test done for all STDs, including herpes. And I am taking the anti-virals.. also lysine. And applying vitamin E to the sores since I've read on here from you guys that it helps! And it has been helping! I'm sorry for this SUPER long post.. but my question is, as I wait for my results, has anyone experienced ONLY getting an outbreak on one side of your body? Is this strange? Because I've heard with shingles it's specifically located on one side of your body and it is also related to the herpes virus. I just find it odd that I am getting these sores and blisters on one side of my vagina / vulva / body. Or maybe it isn't odd? I figured I would ask! Thank you to anyone who reads my super long post!

Does this look like genital herpes

Okay so my name is amajana and I believe I've Ben expreriancibg the same thing as u and I wanted to know whether or not u got it cleared up and whether or jot u found out what it is. Its super painful and I have been researching it buy it doesn't seem to be a std or it could be but I feel like its nothing concerning STDs I'm afraid if it gets worse and moves somewhere else

I have like a small very pain painful blister at the bottom of the opening of my vag. It hurts so bad and all people are saying online when I look this up is it has to be herpes???

I've read through this whole thread and I have to say, I think it's the most helpful, reassuring and understanding post I have read on the subject. So I thought I would share my experience for anyone else who may be scoring the Internet looking for some answers and reassurance.

I'm 23, have been with my partner since July 2014 and have HSV type 1. I had my first outbreak at the beginning of 2015, not that I knew then that if was herpes. My first OB was so bad that it caused me to blackout several times due to infection and fever. I thought I cut myself shaving at the time and then assumed it had got infected, I had 2 large pus covered ulcers on the right side of my inner labia. I went to the doctors, explained my shaving theory and she simply just gave me a dose of amoxicillin. A couple of weeks later I got a sore, that can only be described as 'similar to a carpet burn' on the very top of my leg, in the crease where your bum meets your leg. It's uncommon to get an outbreak here so I never initially put two and two together, to be perfectly honest, I hadn't a clue what it was but it was huge, painful and has unfortunately scared.

It wasn't until I found out I was pregnant and came out with another ob at 7 weeks that I actually went to a sexual health clinic to get it checked out. They did a swab and a week later they called and diagnosed me with HSV type 1. I don't think it really phased me at the time. The guy who rang me was super lovely. He explained that while HSV type 1 is classed as a sti and is transmitted through sexual activity. It's not actually an sti as such, as it is caused by receiving oral sex from someone with an active cold sore virus. He also reassured me that because I had already had my first ob prior to getting pregnant that my body would give my baby all the antibodies they needed. That was that as far as I was concerned at the time. I had a few more smaller outbreaks but I wasn't prepared to go and speak to anyone about it and i just dealt with them as best I could myself.

It wasn't until I was heavily pregnant that it actually really hit me. All the hormones and the extra bacteria going on down there caused me to have an outbreak, 3 weeks before my little one was due. Although my body had given my baby the antibodies he needed, having an open sore at the time of delivery could have still enabled the virus to be transferred to my baby and if I had open sores as my due date got closer I would have to consider the possibility of a c-section. And that's when I freaked out and had to come to the actual realisation that I did have this virus and that it was something that I was going to have to deal with forever but it wasn't something that I had to hide away from at the same time. I went to my doctor, discussed my newest ob with him and he gave me some anti viral tablets to try and budge the sores before baby was born. They cleared up within days and my healthy 8lb 12oz baby boy was born completely naturally and uneffected at 39 weeks.

He's now 4 and a half months old and I've currently got a single sore that I'm dealing with. It's not nice, it is painful and yes it makes you feel like damn right dog poop when you have an outbreak. But it's also not uncommon and you are most definitely not on your own. Herpes is still a pretty taboo subject as it is classified as an STI. However I strongly believe it should be discussed more, so that people have a better understanding of it. It is nothing to be ashamed off, type 1 can be caused completely by accident, it unfortunately is 'just one of them things'

Sorry for the mammoth post, I just wanted to share my experience and maybe help someone out.

I am having the same problem right now. I went to the Dr and they said I have a uti well they put me on meds. Two days later it hurts to pee and I have bumps and sores on the inside of my vagina lips. Does anyone know what it could be or how to get rid of it bc I cant pee or shower without it hurting.
