Does this look like i have herpes? Pictures***

About 2 week ago I had sex with my for the first time with someone who I've been seeing for a little while. The sex was rough and he was pretty big so I had a little rip. The next day when I woke up it was super itchy and it went away in about 2 days.. And 4 days ago we had sex again .. I woke up feeling fine until this morning. Some blisters had appear near the entrance of my vagina. And it is soooooooooooo painful when I pee. I can hardly walk or sit it's so painful.

 

Please go to the doc to get a swab ASAP !! 

defiantly go to your doctor asap and get it swobed !!! 

I don't know if that's herpes or not, but it doesn't look good, and you should see a doctor.  You could either see your GP, or if you're in the UK, you could go to a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic - google "GUM clinic near me" for details.

If you could update this thread and tell us what the doctors say, it would be appreciated.  Good luck.

Unfortunately, that looks like it could well be herpes, but only a swab test can confirm that for sure and which type it is, if it is in fact herpes. The swab test loses accuracy over time, so get to a doctor asap and insist on an HSV type-specific swab, even if the doctor makes a visual diagnosis and thinks that's good enough. Please keep us updated. Good luck!

I went to the doctors today. unfortunately i do have herpes... sad

Hi,

Sorry to hear you have herpes. The first outbreak is the worse! It will get easier over time! 

Did the doctor tell you what type you have? And give you any advice? 

Would be good to hear. 

That's what my herpes looked like get it swabbed asap

So sorry to hear it, but it did look rather like herpes. And that was your time with this guy, and first time ever? How awful! Did the doctor do a swab test to confirm the visual diagnosis and determine the HSV type?

Yes this was my first time ever with this person. 2nd time ever having sex... i got swab test done and it came back HSV2.. i dont even know how to deal or process this...

i have HSV2... doctor gave me some pain meds and also Acyclovir 200mg take 2 tabs 3times daily for 10 days... The paint is terrible!!! 

Wow, how did you get your swab test results back so fast? That's the quickest I've ever heard!

I'm sure you are reeling from the diagnosis. It can be very shocking and stressful to deal with at first, and it does take time to reconcile things. I know it's hard to imagine right now, but things do and will get better, both physically and emotionally.

More than happy to help with any questions you may have. In the meantime, stay strong.

That's horribly unlucky, but it's not as bad as it probably seems right now.  It's definitely not good news, but life will go on, and though it's likely you'll have other outbreaks, they probably won't be as bad as the first.

Some studies estimate that over half the UK population has been infected with herpes at some point.  Most of them will have no symptoms, and be completely unaware, but over 50 women are diagnosed for the first time every day in the UK.

 You need to let him know, and sadly, it seems to be fairly common for people in his position to deny that they have anything, and even to blame the person they infected.  Men |(and some women) often have no symptoms, so he may have no idea that he's a carrier.  It's unlikely that you got it from your first partner though.  If you're in the UK, a GUM clinic can notify him confidentially on your behalf.

It looks like your other thread has gone, so I'm posting these links again, which may help:

Hang in there, you're not alone, and there are lots of people on this forum and other support groups who can help.

Sorry to hear.. i also have hsv2,so if you have questions...

Sorry to hear that you have herpes but it isn't the end of the world for you you'll learn to cope with it and the outbreaks become less overtime I was diagnosed with it 3 years ago and I sometimes become depressed myself but I still have that small bit of hope in my heart that someone would accept me even with the virus and the same will happen for you!

Having herpes (or any other STI) doesn't mean no more romance.  It complicates things, but if someone likes you enough, it won't be a problem.  A long time ago, I'd just started seeing a girl who broke up with me and told me she had herpes.  It didn't make me want to stop seeing her though.  She had at least three partners after that, so I wondered for many years if she'd made it up to break up with me.  I finally got the chance to ask, and she said she does have herpes, but would have broken up with me anyway (I was way too keen apparently).

There's also a good BBC article titled "Online dating for people with sexually transmitted infections", which talks about sites which are just for people with STIs.

I just had sex for the first time as well! My 16th birthday is in two days and I feel your pain, both physically and emotionally. I have recently been so sad but I just wanted to let you know you aren't alone.
