Soreness and redness

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hey

So I have, as told before, been going to the docter because I had a bf whom a have herpes thtough oral sex. We had sex after that without knowing i gave it to him.

So we broke up 3 years ago and i have had ALOT of problems down there since. Docters told me yeast infections everytime a took swabs. 

Always negative for herpes. got blood work . positive for hepes 1 but i knew that as i gave it to my ex bf and have had cold sores my hole life.

SO know i am having a lot of redness and soreness AGAIN, does it look like herpes?

    It doesn't look like classic herpes and if you always had it orally, you shouldn't have gotten it genitally unless you acquired both at or around the same time. If your doctors have swabbed it several times at its peak when still new and it always comes back negative for herpes, that is also a very good indicator that it's not.

      my docter opens tomorrow, and it began yesterday so it will be on the third day.. do you think thats too late?

      If you want to swab it again for herpes, three days is okay. Make sure they rub over it well to get a good sample, especially that bit that looks like a bump on your perineum. If they can do a pcr/dna swab, even better and more accurate than the usual viral culture swab.

      The bump went away fast yesterday.. really weird. maybe it just got swollen because I was touching around a lot making it annoyed.. 

      its really weird. had my bf too look at it this morning, he said everything looked fine, but I will go to the docter tomorrow.

      If it cleared up that fast, it's not likely herpes. Even recurrences, which are quicker than first outbreaks to heal, usually take a few days to fully resolve.

      Yeah okay, its just really weird. I do have vulvodynia i dont know if you heard about it, and my specialist told me my vagina just react to how i am feeling.. i dont know haha, so if im stressed i can feel it down there because i am very sensitive. but.. i just cant cope with the idea of having herpes right know.. just a lot to handle. 

      You had type 2?

      I am aware of vulvodynia. Can it cause observable physical changes, not just nerve pain? If so, then that could be it. Yes, I have gHSV2, unfortunately.

      It can cause redness yes, and i went to him as well told me he did not think my problem was herpes, but just the fact that im very sensitive and mt enviroment down there is really f****d. 

      But then again.. you can be diagnosed wrong and i did have sex with a partner who had it so i will continue going to the docter and get checked.

      oh okay, everytime you have ourbreaks does it then look excarly like herpes?

      Yes and no. My first outbreak honestly didn't look like much. I found maybe three sores, two of which looked like oral canker sores tucked inside folds. The first and main sore, however, just looked like a small red bump on my perineum that later rubbed open. Subsequent outbreaks were only the one bump on my perineum, usually small and only noticeable because the area would swell up and feel sore to the touch or when wiping. Not much to see. But then one time I got a bad cold, which triggered a recurrence that resembled a big canker sore on my perineim, complete with nasty pus. So, they're mostly the same, but they can also vary, plus that's just my personal experience. Other people may get similar or very different outbreaks. I never got blisters or many sores, whether clustered or otherwise.

      Then how did you get diagnosed? Cause i went to the doctor many times and.. im just red sometimes in spots but the doctor does not seem to think its herpes.

      My first outbreak didn't have blisters, but had a couple of ulcers that I got swabbed.
