Dr. Bhupinder Kaur:
Thank you very much for answering my post. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. Well, I went to Planned Parenthood and the physician who I saw examined me and told me I do not have genital herpes legions rather I have genital warts. Ugh!!! I'm really disgusted by it, but am somewhat relieved they aren't herpes sores. It's bad enough I get cold sores, I don't need the extra stress of those things "down there" as well. Anyways, thanks for the support. If you have any advice or guidance, whatsoever, please feel free to reply. But please don't feel obligated.
I am taking it upon myself to try the apple cider vinegar method to get rid of them if possible. My health insurance hasn't kicked in yet and the prescription she gave me for Aldera is way too expensive. So, for the time being, I'm going to attempt the vinegar method (last night was my first night) and see if it helps any. If not, I'm going to go to my normal gyno in July when my insurance kicks in and see what she recommends.
Again, thanks and hopefully I'll hear from you soon. Take care.
Hello,
From the symptoms it looks like irritated hair follicles or folliculitis. Please keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful. In case the symptoms persist then consult a dermatologist and get it examined.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
The rubbing I was referring to was NOT to the "pimples", it was to the hairs growing back from not shaving for a while.
