Signs and symptoms of genital herpes are painful red bumps on the genitals, which become fluid filled blisters. These blisters can burst and leave shallow red sores. Some people also experience headache, muscle aches, swollen lymph glands and fever.
Initial outbreaks are usually more severe than subsequent ones, and generally also involve flu-like symptoms and swollen glands for a week or so. Some people also get podromal symptoms, or a tingling or burning sensation where a herpes lesion is about to appear.
Get it checked out soon. If your parents won't believe you can always go to planned parenthood or your country health department. It's important to know because you can spread it to others even without an active outbreak, and you can be a drug such as Acyclovir to lessen the severity of the outbreak, decrease viral shedding and lessen the number of occurences.
Going back, I just read your symptoms, and that could be anything, and I wouldn't guess herpes right away. It sounds to me like vaginitis, which could be a yeast, bacterial, or protazoan infection. Get it checked out soon!
If your parent's don't believe you have herpes, they might believe you have yeast infection, which can be caused by anything from antiobiotics to tight-fitting clothes. Tell them that, yeast infections can need antibiotics to clear up.

okay first off i am not trying to be rude or judge mental. But if you dont really have friends or anyone how would you get the genital herpes? If you had sex ask that person and maybe ask them to take you to get checked out. I dont think your signs and symtoms check out as herpes. A lot of females itch and get a little red just becuase of soap, tampons and etc. If your discharge is yellow or grayish it is a bad sign, std. If it is clumpy it could be a yeast infection but not all women have clumpy discharge. Sometimes mens seman can irriate it as well. Are you in any pain and or bleeding? If so thats not always a good sign either. i am NOT a doctor but i heard if you take a bath with some baking soda it might help the irration and redness.I understand about parents not understanding, which sometimes that is whats wrong with this world. Not knowing all the possiblities that are possible. Today is different than yesterday. Meaning they think this world is safe like it was in their day. I hope this helps and good luck.

No you don't have herpes. If it was herpes then you could only have had a blister on the side of the vagina. The blister goes away after a week or so, some within three days.
I think you might have a yeast infection, since you said it's itchy, but otherwise get it checked out cause it could be something more serious.

I got diagnosed with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about three yrs ago, when I was still in college and had a foolish one-night stand. I understand lots of people say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date guys again. In the end, who wants to go out with a girl who has sores round her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/LxASq everything changed.
Not only was I able to eliminate all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just a week ago, in front of everyone in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!!! This system provided the opportunity to be happy and experience real love again. Now I hope that I can help others too by sharing this story.

My best friend has had genital herpes for about eight months now, and it's been really rough. She's had about 7 outbreaks. Everywhere I read it says it stops flaring up so much after time, but its not getting less frequent for her. She's been on Antiviral meds the whole time, too. She also has type 1 diabetes which she has had her whole life, which really weakens her immune system. Will it ever get better?
But after a friend share this video everything has changed.

and why on earth would your parents accuse you of lying about something like that? I hate to ask this, but are they trying to hide something?
