Hi Everyone.
I'm so happy I came across this community. I have no one to talk to in a time that I feel like I need so much support. I feel like I'm loosing my mind.
Let's go back to a year ago when I first experienced an outbreak. It was two days after my bf forced me to have sex. I thought the burning was due to how I was roughly handled. But then I started to see these ulcers and my lymph nodes in my groin area were swollen. At that time I didn't know it was my first outbreak. It lasted a week, not much pain and itching. It didn't look like herpes ulcer (oozing or inflammation or anything). It got smaller as it healed. Never scrab over.
The thing is before that encounter I used to get vaginal itching, and burning when I run over the area that itched. The area would have white spots and I was diagnosed with Cyclic vulvovaginitis.
It so happens that when my boyfriend did that to me I was experiencing the same issue. So I brushed it off as vulvovaginitis.
However, it continued to reoccur at the same time. That's when I seeked help and was diagnosed with Genital herpes. It was more of a visual diagnosis of the ulcer.
Lately I have been experiencing the tingling in legs and buttocks. It occurs the exact time of my ovulation.
I have a few questions..
Does ulcers caused by herpes scrab over?
Does it form a hard bump like a boil and sometimes leave a hard small spot?
Does it cause pain I'm the vagina? (I have been experiencing localized pain in the left side of my vagina for years.. even before I had sex). This happens around my ovulation too.
I feel so worried and confused.
