Hi there,
Around 3 weeks ago, my outer vagina lips began to itch immensely and become so sensitive to underwear. I could not wear anything without it rubbing and becoming more and more irritated and painful. I thought it may be a yeast infection and maybe the underwear which was slightly damp was rubbing at my skin..
I bought some Vagisil and started washing as frequently as possible which helped a little, but not much.
But now, although the itching has mostly stopped, the irritated skin seems to be damaged and red, like a scar and i'm very scared it will not heal because it is noticeable and looks horrible. There are still (what I think is) tiny painful spots/ under the skin lumps which will not go away are tender and bleed if I itch them...
I am very scared because I slept with somebody once, about 2 months ago, who later told me he had herpes a few years ago and I am so angry he didn't tell me. We did use a condom...
I am going to go to the walk in clinic tomorrow but reading online, it seems that Herpes cannot be detected for 3 months...
Could this be anything else?
The extreme itching, rash like irritation which has scarred and very tiny bumps at lower outer lips...
Please help!
