Last sunday I was experiencing typical Yeast infection symptoms such as itchiness around my labia, I went and got some Canesten 3 day cream and began using that on the second day of using it felt like it wasn't helping much. I got a mirror and decided to look down there and I actually spotted a tiny tear almost looked like a paper cut right under where my vagina (hole) is and just above my anus so I would say the perineum? It was pretty small and I thought it would just heal over time.

The next day I had a look again at my vagina to see the tear but I actually spotted these sores about 6 of them! They resembled exactly like canker sores. They were on my labia, on the vulva, everywhere. I am freaking out! I instantly thought okay herpes?! but me and my partner met as virgins and only  have been with each other nobody else. I have not felt any flu symptoms and I've seen a doctor and she took swabs everything came back negative but apparently they did not check for Herpes? They checked for bacteria, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and all negative. I'm pretty upset and disappointed as I went into my doctor crying saying I'm so scared for Herpes, and to wait 4 days for these results for her to tell me they didn't check just gives me more stress and more emotion! I am losing sleep! She prescribed me for Famciclovir she told me to increase the dose and take 4 a day, I really don't know if I'm wasting my time taking these antibiotics specially designed for Genital Herpes if I haven't been tested positive yet.

Today I have taken another look down at my vagina and to see this tear/cut is increased in size! I can see flesh, it hurts so bad! There is this white crust sitting around it, I have no idea what this could be from along with these sores around my vagina. It burns so bad when I pee from the urine going onto the tear it feels like I'm peeing acid I want to cry everytime I sit on the toilet. It hurts so much to wipe and on top of all this I'm second day into my period. It's so disgusting down there I have no idea what is going on with my vagina. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE someone give me a peace of mind and help me! I've looked up everything possible and nothing seems to help me!

Also some ppl are carriers of the virus which means they spread it with out ever knowing they even have herpes. Try not to stress it makes outbreaks worse.

It sounds like it could he herpes. I had the same issue. I found out about 3 years ago. Also they have to take a blood test or sutures to determine if its herpes . The best way to know for sure is go to your gyny while the breakout is happening. Over time break outs can be not as often and can be managed with medicine.

Hi there.  Well, it sounds reasonable to treat you for herpes with the symptoms you are having.  Go back and find out for sure.  They often do not do a routine Herpes test which is a blood test as it is expensive. Often, the test is done just to CONFIRM what the doctor is seeing, herpes.  It is one of those STD's that isn't so much hidden, there are outward symptoms when you have an outbreak.  I think you can go back and double check with your doctor for a firm diagnosis though in this case so that you are sure.

Remember, this can only be caught through sexual contact.  Your boyfriend gave this to you if you have herpes.  He's either been unfaithful or has the situation of herpes simplex one (on the mouth, fever blisters) transfer to your genitals to herpes simplex two.  IF you have it, that is.  

So, I'm really sorry you are dealing with this.  It sounds very uncomfortable, for sure.  When you talk to your doctor today or tomorrow, ask for ways you can relieve the discomfort besides just treatment.  good luck hon
