im convinced i have it. i haven’t got tested for it yet, but i just know it. I’ve done so much research on this site, while mine isnt the typical breakout, its only around the opening of vagina, it looks like rash, white ring. no blisters or sores. nothing on vulvar so far. im done for and i feel so so so stupid for letting this happen i could’ve avoided it.
Ok listen sweetie if it is, it’s really not a huge deal. its so common. and yeah it can be hard to stomach but its nothing more than a skin disease. if you have been googling the life out of it then it is no wonder you are feeling this way. google will really hammer in hard about the stigma of it. do you have a picture to show?
And let me tell you, the only way to avoid it is to never ever have sex. Condoms don’t even prevent it. Some people have it and don’t even know they have it.
picture with red arrows is yesterday,
the other one 6weeks ago- that
one with clear image of sore- 25th may
i hope you’re ok. please post so we know you’re ok and we can chat further x
Ive posted my pictures here so im just waiting for it to be approved. Thanks for checking in. i almost harmed myself earlier but im feeling better now. my next step is to visit the clinic to get tested
Good im glad you didnt do that and im glad you are going to the clinic. Once the pictures come through we will hope be able to set your mind at ease. We are all here for you love try not to stress till you know with out a doubt.
well i’m glad you didn’t do anything. even if we suspect it to be herpes you’re going to be fine. i promise. you are catastrophising right now bit 1 in 5 women are walking around with it and that number is on the lower end of the scale. for whatever reason us girls are easier infected than males. typical eh
so it could be bacterial. if it is Herpes its a very mild case which is great. alot of people get terrible outbreaks but this is very minor if it is. thats not to say it is. so what you should do is make an appointment to see doctor and show them the pictures. herpes would be gone within a week or two. certainly wouldnt still be there 6 weeks later unless the sores left and then returned?
oh yeah i see the sore clearly now. Is it healed now? because if it is not there, there will be nothing for the clinician to take a swab of.
without doubts, it’s a Genital Herpes! the last photo was very helpful to understand the problem

Yeah i agree. In the absence of that last photo it would be hard to tell
wow. i dont know what to say. im so sad and angry and i think im having a outbreak right now its mild and feels like a small cut thats it .
im really sad.
its healed but im going to go do a blood test to confirm
Take comfort in the fact they are mild. Some people have the worst outbreaks. You may find you have a few then don’t have any for a long time. Take some lysine and CoQ10 and vitamin C meantime. What is making you think you are having outbreak other than the cut?
im seeing red areas that look like rashes around the opening on vagina… it doesnt hurt at all. honestly i wouldn’t have noticed its if i didnt look. today i wake up and it feels like cuts thats why i think im having that outbreak
i am also prone to thrush so id know when i having another episode. i dont think its this.
are you able to post a picture?
ayeee 1 and 5 here. you are not alone girl!! i will say time heals all wounds (the herpes and the emotional pain) i got recently diagnosed in July and that first month was hard. Wasnt a minute i didnt think aboht it and i just kept blaming myself but truly nothing you can do to totally prevent contracting herpes. so many times i wouldnt hook up with people cause i was scared of STDs and i got in a monogmous relationship… and BAM hahah looking back now i should of just done them all!!! but confirming my diagnosis and starting anti-virals and taking lysine everyday.. i just feel better about the situation overall. if you have Tik Tok there are a lot of women who have a positive status that talk about everything and if you read all the comments… makes you feel less alone 
you will get through this and it will be easier and it is easily manageable. just gotta get through the first initial outbreak
great words of advice 
xx
do you think it can progress to severe outbreak and spread to my vulvar where i dont have anything there ? thank you for the suggestions. ill look into buying these vitamins, may i ask if you personally take em? : have they been helping with the outbreaks?
