Herpes Symptoms???
. I'm kinda of embarrased to post here about this, but IM driving myself crazy. I have HPV(low risk wart strain) and from time to time they get irritated and sore. However, about 3 or 4 months ago, I developed this very small hard bump on my *area*. It was right near the bottom on the very inside of the lip, right before it goes to mucous membrane part. I normally get these if I shave or scratch or something, so I didnt think much of it. It didnt hurt. Well, about a week later, it started to burn, not extremely painful, but it just felt kind of raw. When I looked I had very tiny raw area. There was no liquid in it or around it. I put some peroxide on a bandaid, and applied it to the area. After applying the peroxide, about a day later, the area didnt hurt anymore, and it the raw area had gotten much smaller. I noticed there was a very tiny amount of green stuff on the bandaid but nothing else. I dont remember it bleeding, but if it did, the area was so small it wouldnt have been a noticable amount of blood. It was about the size of the tip of a ballpoint pen. Within another 24 hours, it was completely gone. It never blistered, scabbed or anything. Im thinking it was simply a cyst of some type, but I justw anted a second opinion on the matter. I havent had sex for over 8 months, and Ive only been with one person(but I guess that has nothing to do with it. Its kind of the unluck of the draw). I would love to hear some advice.
I tried using OTC wart treatment on my HPV, and got ended up with a red, sore-like area right near one of the areas I had used the treatment. Im thinking this must be just from the stuff(i think its like 17% salicyclic acid or something close to it.)
One more thing. I had white discharge and a burning when I went to the bathroom right around the time the first sore appears. I took some antibiotics and they both went away until a month later, after my period, I got the burning when peeing again.
Im getting it every month about a week after my period, but only for a day or two and then it usually stops.

Ok thanks. Im thinking it just a combo of all the **** Im putin on there, my anxiety, and everything else.
Thanks so much for your time.

I wouldn't put antibacterial hand lotion on your genital area either. I'm assuming it's a purell type product. They can be very drying to your hands - imagine how your poor sensitive genital skin feels having that put on?
Also just symptoms after your period could be a sign of an allergy too. Some gals are allergic to the adhesives on pads and others are allergic to certain brand of pads. I even know of one gal who thru trial and error - figured out she was allergic to the dye used to color the tampon string on the brand she was using!
I'd stop putting anything at all on your genital area at this point and go be seen by a professional.

No not all the symptoms.
Im only getting the burning when I pee maybe a few days after my period. Im also using anti-bacterial lotion down there. I hadnt noticed any of these problems before very recently. I never had any issues until now, and like I said, I havent had sex in almsot a year. The only thing I can think of, is we use this toilet paper that has lotion in it and thats the only thing thats really changed. Do you think maybe this could be a potentional cause? I think I will not use the lotion toilet paper and see if that helps...I dont know though, Im not having open sores, or burningof any kind anywhere else, but Im driving myself insane.

It's not recommended that you use otc wart treatments on the genital area. Most products say this right on the box. You should seek out the treatment of a medical professional for your warts.
You are getting these other symptoms each month? If so then definitely get a type specific herpes igg blood test to know your status and go from there.
I'd definitely follow up on all this with a medical professional to find out what all is going on down yonder.
Also it's not recommended that you use peroxide for routine skin care. It can damage the skin and make things worse.
