I went to the doctor b/c I had a sore, red, slightly swollen area on the inside of my clitoris. The nurse practitioner believed it looked like herpes, and I am genuinely hoping that is not the case. There's a small hole in the center of this sore area, its extremely painful to urinate, and there's discharge (but the amount of discharge doesn't look much different than what I usually see down there.) I took the swab test and am waiting for the results to be sure, but I've literally been a nervous wreck about this. Could this be anything besides herpes? I'm 20, and my current partner was my first. We split for a while, and I've been with one other person, but now I'm with my first partner and we've been back together for several months. I've never noticed anything on my partner that could be anything close to herpes, and he hasn't noticed anything that I know of. I just need to hear some other opinions. Please help.
