Is it herpes?

I had sex with my long term bf (6 years) felt like my perineum was torn a little then 2 days later I got all of these sores. I’ve never had a yeast infection dont know what is expected. I’m 99.9% sure my bf hasn’t been with anyone else nor have I. I am petrified of going to the gyno for it because it hurts so bad I can’t even think about how excruciating it would be to get a pelvic right now. not to mention I lost my job 2 weeks ago so I no longer have health insurance and funds are extremely low. do you think this could just be a yeast infection? I did use monistat 1 yesterday and so far haven’t had any relief… ps sorry about the tamp string my period showed up same day as this.. I’ve since switched to pads.

warning this pic is extremely gross. this is day 2 after taking monistat my perineum is now purple looking. with nasty discharge. I’ve had no flue like symptoms just extreme pain


iam going through the same thing as you are currently ive contacted a nurse my picture it could be any type of infection which gave me relief did you have a tingling itching burning feeling before the sores appeared

I did not have any itching prior to the lesions. I did have some burning where I had thought I tore my perineum. but mostly only when it came into contact with urine or while wiping.

The only way you’ll know for sure what this is is by seeing a doctor. Find a low cost clinic in your area, or one that offers a sliding scale.

I have called the 2 around me and the soonest either of them could see me in Jan 22 :sad_but_relieved_face:

I’m not surprised given everything going on. Unfortunately if this is herpes, a Jan 22nd appointment will not help with a diagnosis. :frowning:
