I get cold sores often, and lately, I've been incredibly worried about the auto - transference of oral herpes to the genital area. Especially my partner, with him them transfering it to me down there, or vice versa . I am just very worried about a bump that I saw. Here is a timeline: last week on Friday, I actually shaved the bikini line. Normally when I do this, it's pretty itchy a few days later, and i may see a bump that looks benign. So, a few days ago, on tuesday I noticed a bump that was painful, and larger than I normally see. It is right where the underwear elastic meets the skin, so although I was really paranoid about it, I figured that it is probably just an ingrown hair, or skin iritation. Now it seems to be healing just fine. However, last night, thursday night, I noticed that I am kind of itching on one side on the inside of the lips. (I'm sorry to be explicit). This was in the middle of the night,so I actually used valtrex just in case,and this morning went to get a test.
I guess my question is, if it is genital herpes, can it start with one small bump, and then 3-4 days later have more itching and potential eruptions? Or would it happen in a small period of time like 1-2 days? I know that I should just wait to see what the results are, but I'm incredibly anxious and stressed out. Any info would help.
Thank you.
