Is this Herpes? Looks like paper cuts.

I’m also having a vaginal yeast infection (as you can see the clumpy white discharge) but could the cuts be herpes? I’ve been having a lot of itching and pain. I also had something that looked like a sore but it vanished really fast.

im not a professional but it doesnt really look like herpes though it is best to get it swabbed to know for sure. the sores could very well be due to the thrush!

Okay, thank you! Unfortunately I can't go to the hospital right now but I will get tested soon! Thank you once again ♡

unfortunately herpes can look like this as well, that's why it goes undiagnosed in many ppl cause it doesnt look like a typical outbreak, but maybe it isnt. get it swabbed and blood tested and another blood test a few months down the road.

Thank you! I will get tested as soon as I can

even though its true that herpes can look like paper cuts, I dont think it's the case here. I dont think that's herpes. yeast infections can cause cuts and peeling too. in the second picture, notice how the cuts are located in that fold of skin. the cuts are linear in that crease. that's where yeast can accumulate because its trapped in that skin fold which leads to peeling

Thank you so much! Could that also be why the skin fold is feeling kind of rough and dry?

im not sure if these are sores.

yeast does cause vaginal dryness so yes, to answer the first question. and those could possibly be herpes sores, but I still dont think that's herpes. it doesnt look ulcerated enough imo. it's possible to have a yeast infection and a herpes outbreak simultaneously, but the only way to know for certain if that's herpes is with a blood test/swab. herpes looks different on everyone honestly. were those new sores blisters first? if not , I wouldnt be too worried. be on the lookout for blisters/painful bumps that ulcer

Okay, thank you so much for your reply. I didnt have blisters, no. I've made an appointment and I will have a blood test soon. Once, again, thank you ❤️

i literally went and got swabbed today. it was a yeast infection with sores. I was scared it was herpes. just wait for the swab results, otherwise youll drive yourself nuts.
