i've become sexually active after a couple years break. after i has sex protected (week ago) the top of my vulva hurt and j thought nothing of it. Four days later we had sec again this time without. Yesterday I woke up swollen, in pain everywhere, burning when i pee and funny discharge. Was given thrush treatment. however I then notice theses spots. can someone please tell me what this is, im very worried image

    it looks like herpes. If you can get back to your doctor or clinic soon have them swab the lesions. It could be something else but you will want to be sure.

      i thought that too. ive got an out of hours appointment but whether they'll be able to swap there im unsure .

      do you know if its possible to show that early? or if it could be anything else? I feel like my life is over

    If your having lot of pain in the area of the bumps not just the bumps themselves could be HSV.

      Please try not to worry 😃

      It is important to stay strong in yourself.

      Outbreaks will usually occur if they are triggered i.e stress. If you are confident in yourself and educated about hsv you can give people the ins and outs. Most people don’t have a problem and have come across it and you’ll be surprised how many have it.

      Feel free to message me. I understand how down you may be feeling right now 😃

      It gets better I promise x
