File size is too bighey everyone I’m so stressed, I noticed these little cuts on tuesday and I thought it was just due to rough sex but now theres more. these are happening about a week and a half after possible exposure. last friday i believe I had a fever but I also think I have strep even though the rapid strep test came back negative. I did have bad tonsilitis and got a zpack and thought i was getting a UTI then read that herpes presents with painful urination. does it feel like a UTI??? I’m so scared. I cannot have herpes. asked the partner I was with and he swears he’s never had anything like sores, or a diagnosis of herpes. Also checked myself for chlamydia and gonorrhea and that was negative. could it be a rash? from having urgency bc I did not make it to the bathroom several times. Also, did anyone have like extreme discharge without a smell?? like almost like you peed your underwear? please someone help!
Hi hun, the file size is too big, however, the symptoms of herpes mimicks a lot!
i had extremely painful urination with my first outbreak before the sores showed up and felt really run down and feverish.
Go get them swabbed ASAP. the sooner the better.
8/% of the population has herpes, 80% of them dont know theyre carriers. my boyfriend was one of them.
Herpes isnt actually a huge deal! the stigma is worse than the actual virus.
HSV is also not tested for on routine STD tests, so very few people actually know their herpes status.
Feel free to message me if you have any questions.
my file is too big but here are some pics. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP
I'm so scared. I hope it's just tears from friction but im so scared to find out. I cant afford meds if I need them. do you need to take them often?
do the sores hurt? I had extreme discharge when i had my first breakout. i had to use panty liners because it was so bad. fever is also a common symptom that comes with herpes. does the partner have proof that he did not have it? 'many people will never have sores but still pass it on, and herpes is not a standard test for std testing. theres no way to know unless they have a blood test that confirms. I would get swabbed ASAP
hi, no the sores dont hurt. I had a tear and so that kinda was tender but just like a little paper cut. not like super painful. I uploaded some pictures, do they look like that? now I've just noticed a few bumps near my anus. I'm so confused. does it look like herpes??
oh one more thing. the discharge you're talking about, that came from your vagina or the sores? like almost like you peed on yourself? bc I woke up and my underwear were drenched and I had bad urgency to go to the restroom and couldn't hold it.
my vag looks like this too, but my sores hurt.. i have cottage cheese white looking discharge that will be in my underwear..
have you been diagnosed with herpes?
You actually dont ever need to take meds, even with an active breakout. The body will heal it on its own. meds just help shorten the outbreak healing time.
I get frequent outbreaks, and with my job i decided to take them daily as suppressive therapy, but you definitely dont need to!
the discharge came from my vagina. but herpes usually hurt, if they dont hurt or itch then i would say its prob an infection. i would still get swabbed
like do you mean they hurt or itch badly or like a papercut would itch. also do they hurt at every point in time like when they're ulcers like the one in the picture or only at certain periods? I'm trying to create a timeline to see when I should expect these things. there are like 3 by my anus now so now I'm officially freaked out. those dont hurt badly or itch but they feel like when you have heat rash or "diaper rash". did you get any by your anus? I didnt have anal sex but I guess they can show up there too. 
Hello, please dont be scared but this is how my first outbreak of herpes type 1 looked !! Does it hurt at your last drops of pee - almost like a paper cut ? If yes, please go get swabbed at the gyno just to make sure... My boyfriend and I just figured it was from my past or he went down on me at a bad time (bc type 1 comes from cold sores) .... im actually having my 2nd recurrence right now and im taking the antivirals - which only cost me $5 with my insurance. Your first outbreak will be uncomfortable and the worst. Try neosporin on the outer sores and put a heat pack down there!! Dont be afraid, think of all the people who have cold sores ! youre not alone.
sorry just want to add a little more... I too thought i had a yeast infection and then a UTI, but could NEVER pin point my exact symptoms because they were just so different (almost like a heat rash like you said) ... I never thought i would have herpes because i have always been so safe!!! But im just one of the lucky ones who gets to show symptoms while my boyfriend lives with NONE . Not everyones symptoms are the same but can be similar, your GYNO is your BEST bet.
thank you. I am freaking. did you have severe pain. honestly it hurts like a papercut right now without peeing but not excruciating. I had a tear from sex and then when I looked if it had healed I noticed the little spots or ulcerations. they're not deep. the while left side was tender but not excruciating. it hurt to pee like a uti not like sanitizer in a cut. I just now have some near my anus so I freaking out!!! nothing excruciating but definitely kind of uncomfortable like a yeast infection. di you feel like little sharp quick pain like pin prick?
when it started it felt like a painful pimple. but as it progressed, it hurt to the point i didnt want to walk. even laying still was excrusiating (not to scare you, just being honest). happened over a week after i first noticed the bumps
I havent had pain like that at all. I actually just wiped right now and it definitely was tender. I didnt look but it is tender and wiped with a baby wipe so it kind if stung a tad bit and now it's fine. just mildly tender. I noticed the little spots on like late monday or tuesday so it has been about 5 days. I'm hoping that it doesn't get worse as far a pain goes. I randomly feel like a pin prick in my genitals but it's rare. I don't have the uti type pain anymore. I can sit just fine. I just feel like I havent experience the agony excruciating pain people talk about. I am definitely so scared. I know I must just go get a diagnosis.
My first outbreak lasted about 3 weeks and by the end of the first week I could not take it anymore. I feel like if I went to my doctor sooner, not so many would have showed up but ill never know. Please go and get swabbed, get those results so you dont have to deal with it the next time the symptoms show up (if they do.) personally, I had a lot of weight lifted off my shoulders and can not imagine not have going. Don't be scared of getting your results, in a world of 7 billion people, you are never the only one. use ice packs, put petroleum jelly in the affected area please message me if you need help with anything...
can I ask, did you feel like quick shock like pins in your genitals. it's not so much painful but it makes you like, woah what is that! like a quick shock or quick pin prick?? I'm feeling that randomly.
omg I just looked and I'm freaking out. it looks so much worse
