Worried that I have herpes?? Please help!!

Posted , 5 users are following.

I've been dating the same guy for almost a year now and neither of us have ever shown any sign of herpes. The other day I felt that I had a bump close to the opening of my vagina but didn't think too much of it. Maybe it was an ingrown hair or something because I shave often. A day later I noticed the bump looked more like a scab and then I noticed a second bump on the lip of my vagina that had a dark bump on it at first and i thought this one was an ingrown hair for sure. But within about 2 days both bumps had what looked like a yellowish scab on them. I have no pain when I pee, they do not itch, they don't hurt unless I touch them too much, they don't feel like they could pop either. Today the one closer to the opening of my vagina doesn't have the yellow on it anymore but the one on my lip does and it looks like I have maybe 2 more bumps like these forming. I don't know what these are and I'm very scared it could be something serious. I do plan to see the doctor but I was hoping someone could help ease my mind until then. Please!!

      Please go get tested. That could possibly be hsv. It won't hurt to pee unless there are sores that come in contact with your urine. If they are healing it may be too late for swabbing but a dr can give more of an explanation.

      Get an blood test because it could be anything but everyone outbreaks are different. Some people who have hsv2 don't even have outbreaks, they are likely to be herpes but who knows? If you have another outbreak (ulcers) open sores go to the nearest hospital and get a culture swab to make sure I recommend you to go to the hospital now! The longer you wait and stress you more outbreak will occur after those heal

      Thank you for your reply. The one sore that's closer to the opening of my vagina probably does get pee on it when I use the bathroom but I have never felt any pain. I don't feel them at all unless I have been poking at them then they become sore. I'm going to the hospital in about an hour.

    You should probably go see a doctor because it sound like you have have the HSV. I was recently diagnosed last week with similar concerns. I am going for this week to have blood test done. I'm a emotional reck. I think may have gotten the virofrom my husband who I believe had affair with another woman.

      Thank you for you're for reply. I'm sorry you are going through this too. I'm so scared I can't even think straight. I really trust my boyfriend and I haven't done anything with anyone else. I'm going to the hospital in about an hour. Couldn't be more nervous

      You will be fine regardless of the outcome. If they're able to swab it that's good but keep in mind it takes at least 3 months to show up in your blood
