THRUSH OR HERPES? -Picture in text

Previously I have had thrush, although never really looked to see what it looked like. Feels the same however this sore is worrying me.

Had unprotected sex last weekend for about 5 minutes, the rest of the time we had a condom on, however his tests came back clean a few weeks ago. He's a friend so wouldn't see why he would lie.

I took a pessary yesterday and it feels much better but due to it being bank holiday weekend and the doctor isn't open until Monday, I'm worried it might be herpes.

I have nothing else around that area other than the odd pimple which is normal for me as I use hair removal cream.

Nothing is bleeding, just this sore and another similar one a bit deeper in my vagina. I know you can get sores with thrust, just wanted to know people's thoughts.

Very worried! Please help

    Aw hun, it looks a lot like herpes to me. The common red halo surrounding it, and it looks like an ulcer. You might wanna get checked out! And talk to him about it.
