Ask Me Help Desk - I found a bump

So it does hurt. Hmmm

Yea I know your young hun and I'm not going to preach to you. Please protect yourself. It is DEFINITELY worth it in the end.

Blood tests with herpes isn't that simple.

Why not. What makes it different then just getting blood drawn?

I'm really scared.

I'm not going to repeat myself.

Go get a test while the sores are still there.

I am going to I already made an appointment and evrything

Is there any hope that I could get it checked out and its nothing? Or once I have a bump, that's it I have something serious for sure.

Well, hon, it's hard to know without going to the doctor. It's possible it might be herpes, possible it isn't, but only a doctor can tell you on this one. Do you shave there? Is it possible it could be ingrown hairs?

Bless you hopefully its just an ingrown hair but you got to get this checked out beautifulburnette is right. You will never no till you get that test done. And at least you can get on med and try not spreading it to your boyfriend... GOOD LUCK

I do shave, and thanks I need all the help I can get. I probable won't ever be on this site again. I was just looking for some answers and I guess I got as much as I could so now I just ill see what a porfessonal says tuseday

Good luck! :) Hope everything is OK!

Now Im realy grossed out, and my partner alredy knows because I told him yesterday. Well these little red bumps are spread out, and I dont think its genital warts because they look like califlower right? They are on the right and left sides of my vagina and are near the inner hairline. They only hurt when I pee and they itch ocationaly. they arent realy hard or anything and they dont look like open sores or cuts, but if you look realy closly they are redish and a little yellowish in the center. But they arent blisters I dont think. If anything the center is lower then the rest. Can anyone Help me as to what this might be. I dont realy have anyother symptoms that I know of. I am on birthcontrol. if that could cause anything. I am allergic to some soaps if that could be anycause.

Hi, it sounds like you have HSV, herpes simplex virus. You need to go see a doctor soon, or it will continue to spread. Your partner also needs to go and get tested. Herpes looks like little pimples, and can ooze pus and become very painful. I work in the health care field, and this is more common than one thinks. Herpes is controlled after the first outbreak with a medicine called Valtrex. If you are positive for herpes, there is no cure, and is easily transmitted, even during oral sex. Inform anyone you've been with, about the possibility, so he can get tested too. Men have fewer outbreaks than women, so sometimes you can never tell just by the physical appearance. Your doctor will do a pap smear and check it under a microscope for any abnormal cells, that is how you will be diagnosed. Good luck to you!

Remember: Birth control does not prevent any sexually transmitted diseases or bacterial infections. Nor should it cause any skin infections like you are talking about.

If it's hurting or burning when you urinate it could be Herpes, but usually Herpes will manifest as little open sores. There is a chance they could just be ingrown hairs or if you shave in that area, a hair follicle could have gotten infected and you could have a bacterial infection such as Staph. Best idea, make an appointment with your OB/GYN since we can't see the condition.

I hope you found this helpful.

No herpes is not curable but its not worth beating yourself up over it either, Its not as bad as most people think (thats just my experience) I have had the Virus for sometime now and have only ever had 2 sores, They did hurt while they were there but not extreme pain. There are things the doctors can give you If you do have regular breakouts. If it is inside you vagina and it is sore to urinate you may want to try sitting in a bath with warm water when you wee.
