Hi everyone maybe someone can help ? Every time i get my period i get ONE cut or something down there and this was the first time it burned when i peed. i use ultra tampons because of how heavy my bleeding is and sometimes it gets stuck on my skin so when i pull open my vag to get a better grip it pulls my skin. I only get it when im on my period towards the end of the month. and its always only just one, i dont know what else causes blisters besides herpes but i know theres other things i just I dont know what to do im only 21 i dont want my life to be completely over. i havent had sex in almost 2 months and before that it was with condom. only condition i know is herpes and im praying to God that it isnt. ! I have an appt Nov 11, but im just so scared:(

hi, i feel the same way you do with my sexual health it’s terrifying
but you’re young and you seem very causious about this stuff so try not to worry too much things will be okay. for me my anxiety makes me convince myself i have every possible problem and std but then i get tested and im 100% fine. Try to relax. DO NOT look up stuff online a lot of it is inaccurate and false and it will just make you worry more for no reason. now you only say that there’s one small cut. herpes is a big cluster of them more than one or two. likewize there are a few other things that can slightly look like herpes such as ingrown hairs and razor burn. your skin might be sensative as well cause there minor cuts. I know it can be difficult to not worry about it but from what you said it doesn’t sound like anything serious. but i am not a doctor and i cant see whats going on in person so youll just need to be patient and distract yourself until your app. All you need rn is a piece of mind and when you see the doctor you will get that. I hope everything stays okay
