So I usually get waxes but since COVID I haven't been able to go. I hadn't shaved in a while, just the outer parts that showed from my swimsuit (where the 2 larger sores are). I was back home and forgot a razor so I was using an old razor I had in my drawer from high school. I noticed those two spots a few days ago and stupidly picked at them, leaving them red and raw and started freaking myself out. The logical part of me is thinking, I shaved with an old, probably grimy razor and I've been outside swimming and tanning quite a bit so I'm sure the sweat doesn't help but I am a bit paranoid by nature so I started worrying. When I got back to my house at college, I shaved with a new razor so I could check the damage but now my vaginal area seems to be a bit more irritated. Not sure if it's from shaving after getting waxes for so long but just wanted to know if this was something I should worry about. I haven't had any other symptoms, my vagina isn't itching nor does it hurt and those two main spots (on the left side of the picture) were never pimply or pus-filled like blisters. I can't seem to think of any way I would have contracted this virus, I've had one partner for over a year and a half unless it was laying dormant in my body. Does this look like herpes or is my anxiety sparking paranoia? Thanks!
it doesnt look like herpes it just looks irratated
Thank you for your reply! I am going to try to get a gyno appointment ASAP just in case and hopefully get a solid answer but thank you for putting my mind at ease.
that’s no herpes
