Hi so like 2 and a half months ago I started getting bumps like pimples on my butt the where the line is and I dont remember exactly how long ago I would assume 1 or 2 Weeks ago I notices this big red bump near my vaginal opening and when I checked i.had more but that one had like 3 or 2 all together and they were red thry didnt hurt or itch unless I touched them. I do shave so.when I went to the Dr he said it was due to that but I forgot to,mention I had not shaved in months and after I got the bumps in my butt is when I shaved and thats where I got the bumps first then my vaginal area I also have more like where the lips are outside on the sides but those r skin colored as well as the ones on my butt I also had some flu symptoms like bodyache headache sore throat and cough idk if it was a flu or not cause I did not have much of a runny,nose. the last person I was with was 9 months ago would I be getting symptoms till now? I have a bf and he is the only one I sleep with now I doubt he is cheating so lets just assume that the last person I was with was 9 months ago. Sorry if its long im just so.scared and sad please help me

You need to be seen by a doctor, really. If they suspect herpes, they should swab the sore and type it. Try to find a STD clinic that will take walk-ins.

Open sores in the genital area can be a number of things, including herpes. Herpes sores can be described as fresh sores, yes.

I have and idk if they do the herpes but I always came back negative and an update about the bumps is that there is one im super worried about because yeaterday night I was laying down and when I got up and went to the restroom on my undies there was this little round stuff in it idk if it was blood or what but the bump I guess it popped or something does that happen with herpes sores? And now its like round like a pimple but not as big anymore and its a little round and open and it sticks to my underwear so it seems like its.fresh and it wont dry the best way to explain it is like if u have a mosquito bite with a scab and u scratch it so it opens it has that look hopefully u u.derstand. Plsase tell me if this is what the sores look like I am so scared :(

oh and do your symptoms sound like herpes?  not really. odds are it's something else going on.

odds are that neither you nor your partner have ever been tested for herpes before. did you both go for full std testing before becoming intimate together? do you know if either of you have been tested?

if you were seen and your provider didn't think these were herpes, odds are they weren't. continue to follow up as needed for your symptoms and if neither you nor your current partner had proper std testing, follow up as needed on that too so you know if you need to be worried about herpes or not.
