about a year ago, i had unprotected vaginal sex. i started having itchiness and disharge about a week later. I thought it was a yeast infection, i treated that. I had what seemed to be an allergic reaction to something in it and my vagina because very sore. My mom had the same allergic reaction to the same yeaste infection treatment i used, so I assumed it was that. I went to a clinic to get an opinion and a prescription. She told me it looked like herpes. But i wasn't really having many symptoms of it. and nor did i notice any bumps. I have these constant small red bumps at the top of my vagina opening, near the clitoris. she did a test for herpes and they only call back if its positive. i never got a call back. then 2 months later i had a PAP done and he said it was herpes. I've still got the red bumps near my clitoris, and about 9 months later i had what i thought was an outbreak. I wasn't sure because I had never had one, and i just noticed bigger bumps than normal. nothing else. no other symptoms of herpes. he gave me a perscription and it didn't clear up as quickly as he said it would. but i still have those red bumps near my clitoris. Now i have another couple of bumps forming, but again, zero symptoms of anything. I popped one, and it seemed more like a zit. I found something online about 'zits vagina' http://eacneskincare.tblog.com/archive/2006/03/ about halfway down the page. which describe more of what was happening. like bacteria has built up. i haven't been wearing cotton underwear while working out. Could it just be this zits vagina thing, or is it herpes even if the only symptom im getting is a couple of bumps.
and what are these red bumps that i constantly have near my clitoris?
it also states that zits vagina is most commonly caused by hormonal changes. a year ago, when i was told it was herpes, i went off birth control. I had been on it for 6 years. Could that have been a hormonal change that caused it?
