To anyone taking the time to help me, thankyou very very much- I am over the anxiety and stress of all of this.
This whole incident started about 8 weeks ago. I shaved my pubic area, labia area and anus area. After that, I felt an itching inside of my vagina, and two little pimple looking dots. I went to 2 doctors and was told it was thrush, so I applied thrush cream and the itching went away- so I assumed everything was okay.
However, then I started to get a really annoying itch in my pubic area. I had red/white dots scattered around- and my friend suggested it could be herpes. So, I was swabbed around my pubic area and the results came back negative- so far, no herpes.
Despite the swab coming back negative, the itching continued. For the most part, I couldn't feel the itching at night or when I was laying in bed watching netflix, for example, but as soon as I started walking around or chucked on some jeans- the itching persisted.
Following this, the itching progressed to my anus area, which under inspection I noticed 2 small blister like dots- similar to the ones I found previously on my vagina. I rushed to the doctor and had that swabbed- again, it came back negative.
Similarly around this time, I noticed I had a pimple looking dot on my left butt cheek- and that has only recently scabbed over, but I couldn't really feel it- it didn't itch or cause any pain, so could have been a bite or an actual pimple.
Only a few days ago - the left area around my clitoris hood felt very tingly and sensitive, almost swollen. It was red- but most of my vaginal area is somewhat red (but thats never seemed abnormal for me.) The tingling sensation I could feel at night, and I freaked out AGAIN it might be herpes, but that was 6 days ago, and I haven't noticed any lumps/lesions. However, the hair surrounding this area upon which the tingling arose is very sensitive- when I pull that pubic hair it really hurts.
At present, I'm at the 8 week mark, and the itching has not gotten any better. I've tried anti fungal creams, antiseptic creams, thrush creams and tablets, other external creams prescribed by my doctor- and still haven't seen any real improvements. The tingling has somewhat subsided.
As background knowledge, I am a young girl who has always been pedantic about sharing drinks etc. I have only ever had sexual intercourse/relations with 2 males. My first boyfriend was a virgin and reported never having a coldsore before. My current boyfriend has only ever had sex with one girl who was also a virgin- and similarly never reported coldsores.
-The only possible thing I can think of is that recently my friend came over to stay, and she felt the beginning of a slight cold sore coming on. She went to change the song on my phone and could have potentially touched the area she felt a coldsore coming on- then I touched my phone- then went to put a tampon in. -However, I usually hand sanitise diligently, so I think I did.. but it was a while ago so I can't remember.
Sorry this is so long- but in total I have seen 7 doctors. Most of whom have inspected my vaginal area and have seen no cause for concern. I have had 2 negative swabs, no real reason to suggest I could have contracted herpes as I had always used protection and checked my partners sexual history.... but I still have itching/slight tingling?
-Could this be something more serious such as vulva cancer?
-Could this be anxiety related? I am very stressed about it.. could this be the cause? I also live on college so my towels don't often get washed and I share showers/close confines with people, my diet is also really poor since being on college- I would have to be deficient in so many vitamins and would similarly have to be anaemic
-Any similar stories/random thoughts/suggestions/advice- anything- please help an extremely worried girl out.
Thankyou
