Red, Itchy bumps around vaginal opening?
Asked Feb 15, 2009, 11:32 AM

11 Answers Well I am 18 years old. I am sexually active and I am worried that I might have something and I do not know what to do. I had sex about 2 1/2 weeks ago, and we started off without a condom, and then put one on. I know it wasn't the smartest thing. But I now have red bumps around my vaginal opening, and I am worried. They are itchy, and when it all started I had a burning "sensation" when I peed or when I would wipe. I let it go for a couple of days before I took a mirror to look and see what was going on. When I did that I found like two or three red bumps around the opening. They are not painful anymore, but they do itch. Does anyone know what this could be? Please help me, I'm very nervous and do not know what to do or what it could be : / help! |

| I afraid you're going to have to be a bit more detailed. How large are the bumps? Were they ever filled with a fluid, like blisters? It sounds like it could be herpes- the burning when you urinate, the itching. The best thing for you to do is go to your doc. They can test you for herpes. They'll probably do a swab of the bumps and a blood test. Make sure you disclose the date of your unprotected sex, so they know which test to administer. Some tests are reliable for older infections, some for newer. If it does turn out to be herpes, your doctor can put you on an anti-viral medication which will greatly reduce your number of out breaks, and reduce the chances of you spreading it to others. Take care and good luck... | ||||

| I forgot to mention a few things. If this wasn't your first unprotected sexual experience, the infection (if it's herpes) could have been lying dormant in your body from a previous exposure. It can do so for an extended period of time. A person can transmit herpes to their partner's genitals if they have cold sores and perform oral sex on their partner. Does your partner ever get cold sores? I do hope you make a doctor's appointment... Take care... | ||||

| Actually they told me the same thing "that I may have an allergy to latex" a couple weeks later I got some blood work done, I was having the burning sensation during urination and itching in one particular spot, found out not too long ago I have herpes, it is contagious by skin to skin contact, good luck, you should request some blood work and let us know what they tell you. | ||||

| hey guys..so thank you so much for all your help! I was kind of freaking out, and still am. I did end up going to my doctor and she said that she thought that I had herpes[like you said] but that she was going to run the stuff through the lab and call me and let me know.well its been almost a week now, and still no call.so I am not 100% sure that I have herpes or not, but she put me on medicine, so I most likely probablly do  if anyone could help me or give me advice on how to deal with it, or when I should/shouldnt have sex and all that that would mean a lot! Thank you again for your help, I probablly wouldn't have gone to the doctors without you telling me to! | ||||
