    Yes I do , I've had bumps down there for almost 4 months,
    At first they felt big and were all around and it hurt, I had a lot of discharge.
    Then they seem to have gotten smaller, but still there . I feel them.
    I'm itchy all the time, I don't have discharge now but still very itchy and I feel them.
    Apart from that, my gums have begin to hurt, my tongue feels sore and my throat has looked a bit red since October 15th
    I feel like no one will help me , everyone says I'm fine . I'm just getting more symptones

    Has your dentist examined your mouth after hearing about this?

    And the doctor has seen these bumps you mentioned? (seen them while they were active?)

    You've been sexually active? If so, did your partner have any complaints? (Herpes can be spread through oral sex too.)

    I haven't seeen my dentist
    My family says " its just what happens during winter"
    I don't understand, I've never had this.
    Yes, 3 people have looked at my bumps down there
    And the first time they just said I had a normal bacteria, the second and third time
    They told me I "probably" have ingrown hairs.
    I search up herpes symtpones online and it seems I keep getting everything ;
    I have extreme lower back pain sometimes at night and head aches.

    You're sexually active?

    Could this possibly be an allergy to laundry detergent? Did you switch brands around the time when this all started?

    Do you shave down there regularly?

    Instead of asking people to post their symptoms, a simple web search can get you a list:

    The last time I did something sexual was months ago- in 2010 I think maybe nov or before that of 2010.
    After that I haven't done anything with anyone for months.
    And this is the first time I've gotten these bumps.
    Is it herpes?

    @scott , thanks I already searched herpes a million times, I wanted to hear from someone who experienced this.
    Like I said, it seems I have all the symptones- except feeling burning when peeing.

    Thanks for your patience with us. We want to help you.

    I've been surfing around on reputable med sites for herpes information, treatment, etc. Have you had more than one outbreak of these blisters?

    This is the first time I've gotten this "outbreak"
    And I've had it for almost 4 months now.
    I'm really freaking out, I'm only 19.
    This has gotten me very deppressed,
    Thank you for helping me
    I'm really going crazy... and I have no one to talk to.

    I wonder if it's not herpes but some other virus that has taken over your body. We have a nurse on site. She might be busy delivering babies at the moment. Is it okay if I PM her to look at this thread? (She may find it anyway on her own.)

    Are you tired a lot, maybe have a poor appetite, have no energy?
  • Nov 19, 2011, 06:41 PM

    Yes it's fine, I'll take all the help I can get.
    Thank you so much.
    I do get tired but no more than I usually do. Normalness.
    Same appetite. Same energy. Although lately , I guess because I'm freaking
    Out about this, I've had so many head ache ,dizzyness that I just lay in bed.
    When I first got bumps ,my first month- I thought I had genetal warts ,could that also be possible?
    I was so worried I got anxiety attacks.

    I am not a doctor nor can I diagnose you. BUT there are several non-sexual viral infections that can produce the symptoms you have, including the blisters.

    I'll PM J_9 and hope she isn't too busy. If she doesn't respond right away, check back in a while.

    No I haven't
    I'm pretty sure it's herpes...
    I'm itchy all the time.
    And today I saw that they are small bumps and some are a bit white
    :/
