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.

    Ok, so I have a similar dilemma but near my butt. Here are the circumstances. I showered and shaved my bikini and butt area with a razor that happened to be dull and left in the shower. I usually keep my razor in the cabinet, but for some reason I left it in the shower AND didn't change the blade. I had protected vaginal sex, but he did put my legs up over his shoulder so there was more contact. I put a pantyliner on afterwards because I was expecting my period, which didn't come until two days later. I was also wearing semi-tight thongs this whole time. My period came, I use a cup , but a also wear pantyliners just in case there is a leak. I noticed a bump, which I assumed was an ingrown hair by my butt. However, then I noticed a few more bumps. They don't hurt, just itch. I have no abnormal discharge, smell or pain. Just itching and inflammation, also no fluid, except when I popped one of the bumps with tweezers a little pus came out. Which I assumed was because it was an infected ingrown hair. IDK, based on these pictures what do you guys think? I have a Dr's appointment on the 1st. I've noticed these bumps about 6 days ago. I shaved and had sex 14 days ago. Yes, I took a lot of photos. I'm kinda worried! imageimageimageimageimageimage
