I have a sore on my outer labia. It was small and didnt really hurt but today it has started to become painful and it seems to be growing/swelling. I have only been with one sexual partner and he as only been with one other person but was tested after being with her and his tests came back negative. I dont think that it could be an STD, but i guess it is a possibility. Is there anything else that it could be and how can I treat it?

I would also reccomend getting checked, but just to say, I had something like this, and I got checked, and i was negative. turned out it was simply where I'd gotton a rub from my panties, needless to say I chucked those ones away!

hope everything comes back clear

Hello.

Sounds like Herpes to me. There are also other possibilities. You need to go to your nearest women's clinic for testing ASAP.

In addition, you should inform yourself regarding risk reduction. If you are having unprotected penis-vagina sex, you are at risk for lots of infections and diseases, including Herpes, warts, etc. See the MedHelp site below for further information.
