I always get yeast infections and bv simultaneously so Im always itchy down there. I was extremely itchy during my cycle and couldnt fight the urge to scratch even though I know I shouldnt. The next morning I felt like I had a paper cut and this is what I saw. Did I go overboard scratching or does this look like herpes??? Please help
well, its not often but i have heard a couple people say theirs presented this way. also, herpes commonly occurs with a bv and or yeast infection. itching is also sometimes a prodromal symptom before an outbreak. this is one of the reasons it gets missed sometimes. also, a lot of women who are positive have told me their cycle triggers outbreaks . the best thing to do is have it swabbed asap because if you wait too long it might be in the healing stage and be a false positive. sorry i cant give you more info but i would suggest finding out by the looks of it
not herpes
i spoke to my doctor today and they said it can be caused by a skin infection in your vagina, that means its causing it to be sensitive and tear easily, i was given anti biotics for clhlymydia (witch i dont think i have) witch can also be anti bitotics for anytype of skin infection from the hospital and they tested me for any type of sti or anything that can cause it to be there . i need to tell you im also hsv positive but my outbreaks are never like this especially when im on the antiviral every day .. not only that but my doctor said it wasnt normal what was happening and that it wouldnt cause a probelm like that or thats not what she “heard” or knows is often. but im not used to this as well so let me know what the doctor says !!
also sores feel completely different from this, sores hurt but usually when you touch it or cause friction and they leave a bit of a lasting pain when you do, but these tears are wayy more stingy and wayyy more sensitive preventing me from even peeing ( pee in a bucket of water if this is happening ) so i feel you but girl im telling you there is a chance that its just the infesction and your labia is extremly sensitive so to be careful!! dont touch it, get the antibitiocs for skin infections and it will go away!!! also wash down there twice a day because its gonna help you heal faster! dont use normal vagina soap use vagisil bactrea soap remover !! the green bottle !!! or do a vagina steaming with chamomile tea and it will instantly help soothe the pain ,
hope this helps
