Sores (Tmi warning)
Posted , 5 users are following.
Today I have literally just woken up with strange sores on my outer labia. I though I might have hurt myself by scratching or something. When I had a closer look I saw these sores were dark purple like blood blisters sort of, and sort of asymmetrical.
One is near the opening of my vagina and it is very painful and I thought it was just thrush or something. However I also noticed there seems to be small white blisters (from what I can see) surronding it and coming from the opening.
I am concerned, I've only ever had one sexual partner before and we always use protection. Does this sound like herpes to anyone? It's also bleeding (not sure if it's discharge though).
I have also felt very run down and like I had the flu lately. Been feeling very achey today. Please help

Sorry I meant to say it's on my inner labia. Not outer

I had BV before and thrush at the same time - I had exactly that. Maybe get swabbed and get a culture done to see if it's an infection?

Ugh, I have been to see about 3 different doctors who all say different things. I went to the clinic and the woman told me it is herpes. But it's infected. There are two blisters about the size of a coin. It is so bad it's almost devastating, peeing is unbearable. What a nightmare week I've had

The second woman I saw yesterday said that and she told me to go to the clinic to get it checked. Hopefully the swabs will be back soon.
I think the lesions are slightly peeling now I have no idea if that's good or not

Okay folks I went to see the clinic again. About 4 doctors were in the room. They are more swayed now that it isn't herpes but they can't say for sure. They told me to continue taking my antibiotics and antivirals, and gave me some numbing cream and swabs. The doctor said it could be 3 things, Chrons disease, Beçhets disease, or some unknown skin issue. I'm going to have a biopsy to check it next week...a little unnerved about it all

Swabs, sorry I was supposed to say dressings. I will get the rest of the results next week for the STD's

Second to take both antibiotics and antivirals together ? Never heard of this either.
3 things... Crohns, behcets ... skin issue ..?? How did they come to this conclusion from a genital abrasion....?
Do you have skin rash, abdominal pain, joint pain ?

I know I am concerned. I don't think anyone quite knows what it fully is yet. I'm taking azithromycin and aciclovir at the moment since I don't respond well to flucloxacillin, since it has become infected and is incredibly painful.
Crohn's runs in my family and that is known to cause ulceration in the genital area, as well as Beçhets disease (but I would show more symptoms apparently). They really can't say for sure. As for me I think it is probably herpes. Maybe attaching an image might help?
The sore is peeling so badly that I have to use those dressings so the labia doesn't fuse together or something like that

Ah. Well I'm at a loss again ...
This is still absolute hell and I don't know how long I can live like this. Basically the large cyst has burst and the skin peeled off (it's located inside my inner labia) and it keeps filling up with pus. I know it's gross. Imagine this everytime you had to pee, it's exactly as it sounds. I was given the numbing cream (today I was even thinking about having a catheter fitted) but I really don't know how I will manage at work tomorrow, I'm doing a 8 hr shift...
