Is this Herpes?
here's my situation:
About 8 months ago I noticed white thick discharge coming out from my vagina. It has been 8 months now and I still have it, it does not come out but I can kind of scoop it out, it is not discoloured or itchy or painful or anything. I went to several clinics and got tested for stds and all came back negative, but they did not test for herpes! I was tested for BV as well, but my PH levels are good. I was tested negative for yeast and I tried monistat but the discharge is still there. 2 months ago big red spots with flaky white things appeared on the sides of my vagina outside of it (like on my panty line). The spots were not painful and did not itch, they lasted for about a month then went away. Now I am having pimple like sores on the outside of my vagina. I again went to a clinic to get tested for herpes but was told they could not test unless the lesions were big and they also said that they had seen herpes and that this did not look like it. I have an appointment with a gyneocogist in a month, but I cant even wait that long or handle this anymore. If this is not herpes, what could it be? And are these herpes symptoms? Does discharge usually last 8 months like this with herpes? And if it was herpes and I got medication to treat the outbreaks, will the discharge go away?

Pimple like sores should be evaluated by a clinician to see what they are. They could many things include folliculitis, molluscum, genital warts and also herpes. They should be tested if possible. Sometimes simple things like folliculitis and molluscum can be diagnsosed by a physical exam only.

What abotu the pimple like sores that I have? It looks like razor burn but it is defiantely not razor burn? I am very worried. I was tested negative for yeast on multiple treatments and tried the 3 day treatment.
Also, if you do not think that this does sound liek herpes then what else do you think it could be?

The discharge alone does not sound at all like herpes to me. Herpes discharge is normally very water-like, not chuncky that you could scoop out or persistent for 8 months.
How long did you try treating for yeast?
If the discharge doesn't smell, doesn't itch, isn't painful, what is the main thing about it that is bothering you?
You could certainly order an IgG antibody test for herpes on the internet, but nothing about your symptoms alone suggest herpes to me.
