Confused

I'm confused. I've done my research on genital herpes, so I pretty much know what to look for. I haven't had any of the symptoms associated with herpes, but yesterday I noticed something that appears to be a very small lesion. There was no itching, tingling, or burning at the site where this lesion is. What I would like to know is that is it possible to have lesions in the genital area not associated with herpes??

No but the more you stare at it the more you will see variations that are very normal. Relax and when you come up with something that hints at herpes, come back.

How do you know what a normal vagina looks like if you've only really looked at your own? I've tried finding images on the internet but I can't find anything clear enough to satisfy my curiosity. Vagina's don't all look the same right?

regreting, no, you do not have an STD immediately after sex. Minimum of 2 days before symptoms of STD's show up. Nicole, of course it could be something else. My question is why are you studying up on your herpes? What makes you think you were exposed to it? If you keep staring at your vagina, you will start to see all sorts of things that you never noticed before and it's just normal skin being skin.

Great question...I would like to know the answer to this too. I don't have any symptoms, but I have had burning after sex a few times.
