Do I have bikini bumps or something alarming?
I recently went to the doctor because I have bumps all over my vagina. I was so concerned it was an STD but the doctor said that there was no cause for worry and that I just have severe razor burn. Since I was so itchy down there I decided to get an anti itch ointment and the sally hansen no bumps spray to help numb the pain. Today I felt an unbearable sensation and checked myself out in the mirror... some of the bikini bumps started ulcerating. I went back to the doctor in a panic and they took a swab to send to the lab... I won't get the results back until Friday and I am panicking. I have only ever slept with one guy and that was two weeks ago. Could I have herpes or am I just overreacting? Could my skin just be irritated from all my scratching and the medicine? I am going back to the doctor on Friday but I was hoping for a little piece of mind until then.

Did you have unprotected sex? I'd guess it is just the razor burn they think more irritated than ever with the cream and spray. Let us know what the lab says.
