Possible misdiagnosed?

[Tmkc]

I had a lump in my genitals near my vagina. It started of small and eventually grew bigger. It became quite large and really hard and made it impossible for me to walk or sit comfortably. I tried to pop it one day and managed to get some puss drained from it, however the pressure from me trying to squeeze it left 2 red marks at the site. The next day the pain was even worse, so I made and appointment to see a doctor. She was very busy and honestly only really spent about five minutes with me, she looked at it and immediately told me it was herpes. I was shocked as I have been in a committed relationship, and am certain he did not fool around. I'm just wondering if the doctor may have misdiagnosed me, as I haven't had and real symptoms of herpes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Also I was completely honest with my boyfriend of 8 years about what the doctor said. He is the only person I have ever been with. I think he is having a hard time dealing with this. Any advice?

Yeah. My advice is to find another dr. What you describe does not sound like hsv at all. Hsv lesions are superficial. Meaning on top of the skin. They do not form hard lumps. Hsv lesions are fragile and leak water type fluid. Not thick puss.
Even std experts miss diagnose hsv by sight 40% of the time. I highly highly highly doubt hsv was the cause of your bumps. If you need closure you can take an igg not igm hsv bloodtest but I really don't believe you need to.
