BV sores or HSV
I had unprotected sex with a new partner three times. After the last time we were intimate, about two days later, I had an incredible amount of yellow discharge. I went to the OB and she thought it might be a strept infection in my vagina and asked if my partner had strept when he performed oral on me. I said that wasn't possible.
She took a sample of the discharge, and sent it to be analyzed at the lab. Turns out it was heavy BV with mild yeast as well (which I always seem to have yeast from being on the pill)
She put me on antibotics for the BV. When showering I noticed to small spots- looked almost like clogged pores or little pimpes- with pure white tops. Not like a white head on your face- the little spots seemed to have grey stuff in them, almost discharge looking white. Once finding the two spots, I touched them, they weren't sore. Upon looking at myself and opening myself up, I saw a pink spot inside my vagina. Could BV cause this type of little white sore- or should I be concerned with herpes?
I have heard that the first outbreak happens at the entry point of the vagina- these were on the outside of the labia. I know I was herpes free prior to my encounter, i was tested not long before that.
Also - if it was herpes, would the sores just disappear or go away in a couple of days? Would they always burst and scab?
Your feedback is so appreciated!
Thanks

No it would not be a primary outbreak on the inside that far away from point of entry but a reaction to the yeast/BV infection.

dave- what about the pink sore or spot I saw on the inside of the labia? would a primary outbreak produce sores that far away from point of entry? no other sores were seen, I am hsv1 positive btw
Your welcome. Since you answered quickly, you must have been up all night waiting for a reply!!

Hi, yes sores that your describing could surely appear due to a yeast or BV infection and herpes sores would not go away in a couple of days and would open and scab over.
