For a couple of years now I have been dealing with itchiness, infections, and papercuts near my vagina. I never dealt with any major outbreak and they usually went away on their own in a few days.
Just to note, I have been dealing with hormonal imbalances and recurring candida infections for years. So this is why I’m being thrown off by the symptoms. I also have HPV type 18, which doesn’t usually cause warts.
A month ago I had these strange bumps around my anus. They did not itch or burn, and went away on their own within about a week. After having them for a couple days I got them tested. The results came back negative for herpes or other STD’s.
Of course i compulsively checked my genitals multiple times a day, picking and irritating my vagina. I was squeezing fordyce spots freaking out it may be lesions. I developed different kind of rashes. Afterwards I developed itchiness that turned into paper cuts, like before. I went to go get a swab done for candida and the next day the doctor found a plethora of yeast. I took an antibiotic and it went away.
Two days ago I noticed an in-grown hair looking bump started to form on my mons pubis. Today, I wake up and I have the same smell as before the yeast infection antibiotics and clumpy discharge.
This morning I plucked the hairs around the ulcer and it seems to be an open wound. It doesnt bother me but hurts when I touch it. After hours of stressing I also found this strange concoction in my vulva. It doesnt hurt, itch, or burn when I pee.
I dont know what’s going on. I am afraid to get tested once again for herpes because of the psychological trauma it has already caused me. I’m only 22 and I feel like I ruined my love life. Of course, this is dramatic. But I am sure you can relate with the heavy emotions.
What do you think?
