Help! Any ideas what this is?

Hi, i hope someone can help. I found this about a week ago. It didn’t tingle before arrival and no pain when peeing. Just sore if it gets stuck to my underwear.

Hi, you should see a doctor.

i have an appointment today. I’m petrified that i have an STI.

this looks sort of similar to what i had! I got told fungal, where abouts is it located?

Hi, that’s so good to hear. All i can think of is Herpes. It’s about an inch away from my vagina to the left. GP took a swab this morning. Do you know what caused it yours? How was it treated? Have you had it again?

My partner gets jock itch which is fungal…

hi lovely, EVERY professional ive spoken to said fungal as herpes usually appears on the labia before the skin around the vagina i am still convinced mine is herpes as my ex boyfriend tested positive after we broke up☹ if you could let me know your results that would be amazing!

Hi, yes i will. I should have the results early next week. They’ve given me an anti fungal cream to use for now Timodine. Did you have yours swabbed?

no i didnt have them swabbed as the appointment was over video due to COVID but ive literally shown all graphic imagines to 4 doctors and not one said herpes

That’s a shame. i think i read that you can have a blood test for Herpes if you want to take the worry off your mind? i thought i may have to do that if it had cleared by the time i had an appointment but luckily it hadn’t. My GP said that because it hadn’t ulcerated she didn’t think it would be Herpes. I’m worried that she was just trying to leave me with some hope though?

a blood test isnt accurate and everyone has warned me against doing it. Mine broke open i wouldnt say it ulcered but over night it sort of all broke open

Update on image. Still waiting for my results.

okay. let us know the results.

Covid delays.. still waiting unfortunately and now i have a yeast infection, a build up of thrush on my tongue and a uti to boot.. feel like a snow ball rolling down a hill!!

Using warm salt water might help. There will be some pain while using, but though the infection will slow down easily.

hope your okay. Do let us know results

Thanks i may try that. I’ve got anti biotics for the UTI.

My GP surgery didn’t send the swabs! So until i get another sore i won’t know for sure. I’m going to the GUM clinic on Monday to get other swabs retaken but they can’t test for Herpes.

I’m gutted, my partner won’t even touch me and it could be months before another outbreak if I do have it.

Just to update.. I tested positive for Herpes.
