Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor, preferably a gynecologist.  You may have Bartholin cyst/abscess.

Question 5

i have 2 canker sores right below my vagina on both sides by my cheeks they burn and very painful i also have one just inside right below my vagina it does not look like herpes just a sore but i have discharge that is not clumpy or thick its yellow ?

Accepted Answer

Probably herpes: Herpes is far and away the most common cause of genital ulcer, and initial herpes often doesn't look like typical herpes (i.e. often no blisters etc). And new herpes can cause discharge as well; or you could have more than one kind of infection. See a doctor ASAP:  if it's herpes, speed is important both for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Good luck!

Question 6

itchy bumps inside of my vagina mainly where i shave they look like they have a red head on some of them does this sound like herpes?  i am on my period and it does feel kinda sore there are multiple

Accepted Answer

Likely folliculitis: Based on your description, lesions can be due to irritation from shaving.  However if you have had unprotected sex with someone you hardly know or with someone with a history of herpes then it is possible that your lesions are due to herpes genitalis.  Without seeing your lesions or more info, it is hard to say for sure.  See a clinician for examination, possible testing, and appropriate treatment

Question 7

hatd lump on vagina it looks like aboil...herpes?

Accepted Answer

Probably not herpes: Herpes doesn't cause things like this. Herpes lesions are superficial -- blisters, pimples, and sores that are sort of like "on" the skin. Boils, typical acne, etc well up from below; think of them as starting "in" the skin. This isn't a hard and fast rule, but a single large boil is never herpes. But see a doctor if you remain concerned and/or at risk for STDs. Good luck!

Question 8

seems like every time i shave my vagina i get herpes like lesions. why?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor.: You should show the lesions to your doctor to make the correct diagnosis. They may be bacterial lesions,which could be from bacterial getting under the skin in the shaved, irritated areas, or just irritations from the shaving. You could also consider not shaving the area to allow them to heal and not recur.

Question 9

i had cuts around the opening of my vagina for like a week. they was starting to feel better but then started hurtin again could it be herpes?

Accepted Answer

Could be: Cuts?  You should have no cuts around the vagina opening.  This could be herpes or other disease or condition.  You should be examined by a professional.
