Very recently i discovered one large and two small what seem to be ulcers on the lips of my vagina near the opening. They are extremely painful and i experience severe pain whenever i urinate, so much it brings me to the verge of tears. I am 18 and have had the same partner for 2years, i have been with one other person near a year ago when we had a break up but thats it. I havent had sex for near 3weeks and these ulcer's appeared a few days ago, the only thing thats new is that i recently shaved with a razor that has a bar of soap around it, i know for a fact the ulcers were not there when i shaved otherwise i would have definately felt it, they seem to have appeared very soon afterwards, also i never really do exercise of any sort but the past week i have been playing a lot of tennis and end up very sweaty and uncomfortable, could any of these factors have induced an infection? Unless my bf has been cheating i shouldnt have any STD's, he gave blood about 4weeks ago and was clean. I have a blood test this friday, it is for my thyroid but when i book the test they didnt ask what it was for and just booked me in, do you think its possible to ask to be tested for herpes when i go? i am terrified of needles so this test will take a lot of courage as it is. I have also been under alot of stress lately, a friend of mine died in march and university has gotten on top of me so much i went to the doctors for being depressed. My body definately reacted to the stress to the point i thought i was pregnant though im not, i started producing a lot of discharge, though nothing seemed wrong with it, i felt ill all the time and faint. Could these ulcers be linked with any of this? i dont understand how it could be an STD since i havent been with anyone else yet alone even had sex recently, and im pretty sure my bf hasnt cheated. I had what i thought was a cold sore quite a few months ago but continued with oral sex etc, my bf told me it wasnt a cold sore, ive never had one before so it may have been a spot or something. he hasnt experienced any problem and neither did i, i didnt have sex after until it was gone, but this was a while ago, i should've had a break out if it were herpes right? I am so terrified of what this could be, is it possible i have just an infection and it will go away? i suffer from fragile skin down there which tears easily, i currently have one tear below my anus, they heal and come back if i have rough sex or anything, could the ulcers be linked? i am so freaked out, any information would help, im terrified of going to the doc about it but i guess im going to have too, any input beforehand would be extremely helpful. thanx
