Medical doctor advice please, I'm very distressed

[HeyHay]

I've was diagnosed with vaginal foliculitis but I'm  a nightmare for the internet and worrying now because is it similair to herpes in appearance???I had a blister on my clitoris and so sore to urinate after aggressive oral sex with my partner. Also red sores on the inside lip of my vagina and outside with severe discharge coming from everywhere. There was also pain and swelling around my vagina Such pain with Infection basically that I felt started near my anus. I am prone to abcesses and boils and have been told not to wax any more as I have all hair removed. At the same time I was diagnosed within three days with a severe strep throat. I went to my My doctor and he it's foliculitis from waxing. He put me on klacid. 48 hours later I went back in a panic and he put me on flagyl. It all cleared within about 4 days. With my septic throat I had what looks like a cold sore on my lip and chin. My boyfriend gave me oral sex so I was wondering if that was how the folliculitis spread??? I'm very run down but have NEVER experienced this before down below. I also thought it was just from rough oral sex with him bcos he has facial hair n it got heavy so I got creams and rubbed them around my clitoris. The doc said I cud have spread the infection myself. But the pain was awful. I had a swollen lymph gland on my groin and the doctor said it was from the infection.  Not have I ever had a cold sore on my mouth but my doc says that's part of the infection from my throat. What should I do. Is it definately foliculitis? When he put me on Flagyl alongside the Klacid he said if it doesnt clear we will then do a Herpes check but my doctors words were " I do NOT believe or think this is Genital Herpes". It all cleared. I would really appreciate a response from a medical doctor/practitioner. How could folliculitis have spread to my clitoris if there are no hair follicles there????  Although I have heard it does. Also there was a lot of puss with no odour really. He said the symptoms were not that for herpes. Please help me I'm so upset. This was one month ago and I'm still worried.

Kind Regards

Thank you very much. I got an awful fright. I'm still not sure how folliculitis could have spread somewhere without follicles but the doc said it's an infection that spread. May I ask what is the categorical dofference between herpes and folliculitis? I have been checked for all stds and stis and was only with one person since. He had been checked and there was a condom used and no oral sec took place but I think I will get checked anyway. I have been very upset although I know I should trust what my doctor has said. It was frightening.

You're doctor is right and because your issue cleared with antibiotics and creams you can be pretty certain that it wasn't herpes. A viral infection wouldn't have been touched by that treatment.

Was it folliculiits?  Who cares?  It's gone right?  Let's hope it never happnes again.  If something similar does happen again, get tested for HSV1 and HSV2... you should be tested anyway if you've never done so.  

And take the guy with you. Anyone who thinks they know their HSV status without having tested is full of ****, by the way.

Take care

No no more symptoms or discharge at all. The week the pain started before my septic throat when I had the rough oral sex I bought all the creams such as canasten to try stop the pain and rubbed everywhere. It was when the sore throat appeared that I asked the doc to look. It was then I was diagnosed with the folliculitis. I had an ulcer on my lip I thought and he said it was from the infection. My boyfriend looked like he had one too so that's why I was thinking. But the doc said it will clear and I need to stop waxing and it did clear after the antiobiotics. He said if it is herpes it won't but it did.

So the symptoms have all cleared away?  Not more pain or discharge?
