what is this?

by glowinghearts, Mar 16, 2009 08:51PM
Ok, so I am freaking out. I am maybe being a hypochondriach but here's what's up:

So, I began having sex with a new man about three weeks ago. Two Saturdays ago we had sex. The next day I had what looked like razor burn, which I do tend to get. Monday I started to have a little more discharge than normal; by tuesday night I was itchy and my labia minora was itchy and red and very slighty swollen and there was more discharge and it was stringy/clumpy. The razor burn was gone by then. I went to the gyno thursday morning and she took a swab and said I had a candida (?) yeast infection. She also took a swab for chlamydia and ghonnoreah since I have a new sexual partner. I mentioned to her that I had been freaking out about the yeast infection, worried that it was something else even though he said that he was clean and that I'd been reading the Herpes pamphlet thinking he had unknowingly given me herpes or something. She just sort of shrugged and laughed it off so I was thinking of course I am overreacting. She gave me Diflucan and I took the first one on Thursday and the second one just today.

Well, I shaved again Saturday afternoon and had sex again on Saturday night. Yesterday (sunday) a fresh crop of pink bumps came up and I figured it was razor burn so I got my butt to the store to get things to help so I don't keep getting it (electric razor, and Aveeno sensitive special forumla shaving cream and intensive moisturizer). I put lotion on it last night and went to bed. The bumps began to go down a little and were becoming more of a normal skin color. This morning the bumps that are right on the edge of my bikini line itching like hell and the others were back as well. They are very small and look like normal razor burn but a bunch of websites have said that can be a common mistake for herpes. I put lotion on it and the itching goes away. Now most of the bumps are gone from the upper region of my bikini. There is still a slightly larger red bump on my left inner thigh, but it is also in a spot that I shave.

They are very small, there is no blistering, crusting, or anything. It looks nothing like any picture of any STD online and trust me I have been looking around online for about 5 or 6 hours at least today because I am so freaked out. From the websites I've read I'm worried I'm going to wake up tomorrow with a big blister where the bumps were. They all seem to say that you get bumps and they turn into big fat blisters. Am I freaking out over nothing or is it probably just a bad razor burn?
