Hello all! I recently had unprotected sex about a month ago on 3/19/22. For reference, before that, I last had sex July 2020 and was HSV tested Oct 2020 (which was neg both types).
Around the beginning of April, I started to get itchy around my perineum and noticed my skin would peel a bit whenever I wipe to use the bathroom. The peeling kept gradually increasing and the itchiness remained the same over the days. I also noticed I had small paper-cut like tears around the opening of my vagina but I wasn’t worried about it bc I usually get a random tear or two that’ll heal spontaneously. When this first occurred, I suspected herpes but got tested regularly and they always came back negative.
Now, with the itching and peeling, I’m starting to get worried. The itchiness isn’t anything unbearable its just a nuisance. And the peeling left a red mark behind around my perineum. I also haven’t had any of the “normal” blisters and other flu symptoms that are common. I have an appt next week to get tested but need some opinions in the mean time.
The pictures attached are taken on 4/16 when I woke up. The skin was dry and that’s what it looked like. The next picture is after I moisturized it and you can see the redness. Lastly are pictures from today. One has circles where the small cute are (but I couldn’t really get it in the pic) and the other is when its partially dry again
