What are this painful blisters?
Posted , 6 users are following.
hi!
Would like to ask if these are herpes blisters, ingrown blisters, or friction blisters.
- I have pain while peeing (i think I have UTI)
- I am using menstrual pads right now. Friction from it may have cause the blisters
- I shaved recently and hair is starting to grow
please advise

That looks just like what showed up the first time they appeared on me. The symptoms you described are what youd start to feel. Like i said im not a doctor but if i had any thought it might be ingrown hairs id tell you. If they start to get red around them and the boils turn white and become increasingly uncomfortable. Im really sorry but that looks just like what i saw the first time. Dont touch them or scratch because you can spread it to anything you touch, be very cautious but be prepared for bad news but try to get more opinions but definitely go to a doctor asap

How did the doctor test you?

urine sample and a swab test but they told me then and there i had it. The doctor had seen enough of it to diagnose me on the spot. Its definitely manageable but its something i havent been able to work into a relationship with anyone. Its different for everyone in terms of how you are affected physically and psychologically.

It does kind of look like fluid filled blisters. I would go get it checked as it is surprisingly super manageable and does not really change your life.

What will happen to the blisters after this?

They'll start to scab over and may break open unexpected. Dont rub a towel over it after a shower, just pat it gently. you dont want them to break open, and it hurts. They'll eventually clear up and kind of fall off like a scab but your first outbreak can last up to two weeks depending on if you get medicine and how well you tend to the area. Moisture is not good around the infected area and friction against the blisters irritates it more and cause infection and take longer to heal if its constantly being agitated. Just have to wait it out and be careful to wash your hands and the underwear or whatever comes in contact with the area. Towels go straight into the washer after using them. This is just what ive gathered in my experience

yes that looks like typical blisters. I would suggest going in ASAP and have them swab, although they havent opened yet.

UPDATE!!!
The blisters have started showing black dots on them (hair). Apparently, some of them are in fact ingrown hairs.
Will still get tested though!
Less pain today. Only due to friction.
Hoping this is just ingrown hair as my boyfriend got checked before.
Will post an update soon!

1 blister has flattened. A curly hair came out today. One of the upper blisters also developed a black spot.
Will keep you posted!
