hey there, I recently posted in the std forum but i would like another opinion, please give me your insight..this is ruining my life - i live in canada and blood tests are not offered ( the dr. H reviewed my options with me already) here is my story:
- i have had an extremely tiny( barely visible) raw paper cut like thing on my perineum for about 4/5 years straight, every single day it is there, the most it has healed is for about a week.. i have tried EVERYTHING to heal it, steroids, hydrocortisone, yeast infection meds, keeping it dry,wiping with baby wipes, no sex, etc etc.. what could this be?
- i have been itchy around my opening, i always examine extremely close and there is no blisters/sores, just itchy opening, i tried yeast infection medication and no success...
- yesterday i noticed a little sting beside my clitoris and there is an extremely tiny raw cut thing beside it, no change since yesterday, no blisters , its barely even visible
-there always seems to be something bugging me down there.. always itchy or irritated..and i always get this like burning achey feeling down there ( i think it might be because i focus in on that area of my body)
1. Most of my anxiety is caused by google always saying herpes can appear as paper cuts.. is this really true or does this just apply to people who wave off their symptoms as '' a cut'' when really if they had looked closer there would have been blisters?
2.I have slept with ten people, 5 unprotected relationships, i know that 25 % of people have herpes and most don't know it so i always curse myself thinking that I'm definitely one of those people since i was so permiscuous.. do you think the odds are against me?
3. what can i do to heal this stupid cut on my perineum so i can finally enjoy sex again?
I found dr. H's reply very helpful i am just curious on your opinion, PLEASE help me, i'm filled everyday with anxiety.. thank you doctor
