do blisters always = herpes?

[toomuchinfo]

I've been abstaining from sex for a few years now, and have always been monogamous before that time. I just recently spent a week with my boyfriend of over a year.  He was a virgin and as far as I know from testing in my past I'm disease free and have never had symptoms like this before ever.  The key here for me is that a week before I left, I was treated after a GYN appointment for a yeast infection.  No real problems associated with that except for excessive discharge, which cleared with an oral pill perscription.

The problem is as follows: From the very first time we had intercourse it hurt.  Burning and irritation to the point that the skin litterally bled a little in certain areas - presumably from friction?  You can imagine the various ways this is uncomfortable.  Well I endured this for 5 days but then I get home and though the burning is getting better, there is slight itching as well, and this morning - roughly 24 hours after the last time I was with him, and 5 days from the first time - I noticed several very small blister looking things in a little patch that is fairly close to the vaginal opening.  They don't really bother me at all, I really only noticed when I used soap to wash and nearly hit the ceiling.  I also might mention that I do shave that area and had done so just before the last time I was with him.

All internet info tells me that blisters = herpes.  He was a virgin and I have no prior history. Can yeast cause blisters or is the ominous info correct?

hi im 15 and about a week ago i got this bump on the inside lip of my vagina that eventually busted and it was like a sore , it hurt alot, im a virgin, i ve never had sex.....i went to the family doctor he looked at it and he said that he didnt know what it could be if ive never had sex, he said it could be herpees I but i looked it up and you can only get that on your lips,  he gave me valtrex(which is only prescribed to people with herpees, i think) and it went away after a day or two, but know im real scared, i dont want to have a disease.....so if anyone has some kind of advice or mayb knows what this could b please let me know

Ok I have a crazy and funny (now)story that might help. Several years ago my husband and I kept passing yeast infections back and forth. One night after sex I started feeling really weird down there like something wasn't right, so when I went to the bathroom my lips were like 2 balloons (no joke!!!) I cried in the b.room forever and didn't want to show my husband b/c I was scared and embarressed. Finally I showed him and we called the er nurse, she told us if I still have a yeast infestion this can happen and sure enough that's what it was. The friction and the infection caused it so that could be what is happening to you. My husband and I laugh about that now b/c who knew u could expand like that????Only to me does things like that happen. Good luck and I hope everything is ok.

It wouldn't hurt to get some more tests done... it is possible that one of your previous BFs had herpes and did not show symptoms, and you caught it and it is just now causing an outbreak.

Not saying that's what it IS, but it IS POSSIBLE.

Hi:

From the scenario you describe, it is highly unlikely that you have herpes.  It sounds more to me like you weren't completely over your yeast infection and probably not lubricated very well while having intercourse with your partner.  Could even be associated with the shaving as well.  I wouldn't worry too much, but if it bothers you, go to the doc and have it checked out.
