Sores on outer vagina and near anus..is it herpes? (pics included)

Posted , 66 users are following.

I am getting tested tomorrow, but this is really weighing on my mind and has been from when I first started showing symptoms ( about 8 days ago..started as a red bump, looked like a ingrown hair at the time).. It has now progressed into a full blown sore that is extremely painful to any type of touch.

    Yes, this looks like herpes to me. Have you been checked by a doctor?

      I did. The test came back negative, he prescribed me some antibiotics, cleared it all up in 2 days. It was a bacterial infection and I kept tearing at my skin when I scratched it which is why the sore got some large.

      Is that right above your clitoral hood? In that area it is normal for the skin to look bumpy like that. Is it painful, burning or itching? Because if not it is probably not herpes.
