genital herpes???

Question

I am 25 years old and not proud to say i used to be pretty promiscious about 7 years ago. Recently, i shaved my pubic area(i usually shave) A day later it started itching really bad. I just took it as being from shaving. about 2 weeks later, I felt a bump on one of my labia. about a week later, I have more bumps. I dont think there is any puss or anything, and they are not uncomfortable and ive never had them before. I just dont know if it could be herpes (which ive heard the first outbreak is extremely painful with flu like symptoms). Its not painful or really itchy. Sometimes if i am moist it will itch but quickly stops if i clean up. or if it could just be from irritation brought on from shaving or from sweat and friction. I think its just from shaving but its never happened before and I'm really scared...don't know how i'm going to tell my boyfriend. I would go to the doctor but i am on my period and i dont want to be gross...could it be anything else than herpes?

Answer 1

Ouch!! sounds scary, I don't think that it is herpes though I would get checked to be on the safe side though. Don't sleep with anyone till you do. It is highly contiguous.

I got diagnosed with herpes simplex virus (type 2) about 5 years back, when I was still attending college and had a stupid one-night stand. I realize lots of girls say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and suddenly I felt 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 someone who has sores around her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/Z0ZCv everything improved.

Not only was I able to remove all traces of the hsv 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 fortunate to write that just a week ago, in front of everybody in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This system provided me the opportunity to be happy and experience real love again. Now I hope that I can help others by sharing this story.

if it is herpes, it is very painful and you would know it.

Genital herpes is an infection that causes small, painful, fluid-filled blisters on the genitals, buttocks, or thighs. These blisters break open leaving an indented sore or ulcer. These blisters and/or ulcers may occur on other parts of the body, including the mouth, face, or eyes.

Primary Infection – This occurs in a patient who is newly exposed to HSV. Although there may not be any noticeable symptoms (asymptomatic), many people experience a flu-like syndrome, which includes fever and muscle aches. The lesions may be genital and/or present on other areas of the body, including the mouth, lips, and tongue. Additionally, the lesions are usually larger in size and number than those occurring in repeat or recurrent episodes. The primary infection usually resolves within two weeks unless the patient gets a second infection with a skin bacteria or fungus, in which case, the lesions may persist for up to six weeks.

Symptoms typically begin with pain, tenderness, or itching in the genital area and also include fever and headache.

Other symptoms may include: pain or a burning sensation during urination; a clear mucus-like discharge from the vagina or urethra (opening for urine) in females; a clear mucus-like discharge from the tip of the penis in males; and tender, swollen glands in the groin area

Answer 5

You don't have herpes because if you did there would be puss coming out of the bumps. The area would be very uncomfortable and there would be a lot of itching and hurting in that area. I know this because I'm a nurse. Shaving can do this to you sometimes, but if you want to be absolutely sure then go see your doctor and get tested to see if it's there or not. You don't want to pass this on to your boyfriend if you did have it. It doesn't sound like you have it, but to be safe and sure go see your doctor.

Answer 6

If I'm not mistaken, genital herpes usually creates an outbreak within three days of contracting it. I don't think it surfaces later. Herpes has clear weeping liquid in the first or second day.

Answer 7

Herpes symptoms vary from person to person. You may have its. Do they break out in sores? Does it tingle and itch prior to the break out? Often it will occur during your period or when you are run down. See a doc ASAP. A simple swab will confirm it. If your partner loves you it wont matter to him. Treatment is available, but you will need to use condoms.
Good luck.

i know chicks who have shaved down there, get-around girls and virgins alike, and then gotten all sorts of bumps and rashes. don't panic for now. just wait til your period is over, then go to the gyn. in the meantime, don't do anything.
