you still need to be seen for a work up. if they think these look like herpes, they can do a lesion culture and typing for you. also still get the herpes igg blood test because if this isn't a newly acquired infection for you, you will find that out with the blood testing. recurrences of herpes present differently than newly acquired infections do.
I just realied that I never even wrote what made me think this was herpes. Yesterday I notice two little what almost look like scratches right above where my clitoris is. No on the soft skin but on the tougher skin, they are red and never was there a bump there before, also my whole vagina is very tender to the touch and the discharge is increasing and irritating more this morning.
I am worried that maybe it is herpes, but from what ihave read everywhere they say that it usually begins with bumps that turn into lesions. This is not really a lesion but appears to be more of a scratch. I am kind of freaking out and i have a doctor's appointment tomorrow.
Can herpes start that way?? Instead of the bumps??
you need to be seen today or tomorrow for a proper exam. they should test you for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally too.
medications don't work if you don't take them properly. MAKE yourself remember to take all antibiotics properly as well as it's very important to take your birth control pill around the same exact time every single day. set an alarm on your cell phone to remind you if you need to!! Also since you are on antibiotics, you should be using a condom until you start your next pill pack to err on the side of caution.
does this sound like herpes? well it could be but odds are it's something else going on. ask for a type specific herpes igg blood test while you are being seen to find out what your status is.
