[luna1088]

I haven't been heard in a while since my last issues I was having well recently they came back and not sure if I'm over reacting but recently I got 2 hard bumps on my labia don't know if is hsv or just pimples or ingrowns and also been having a yeast infection for about a week an a half :( help the anxiouty came back I'm kinda stressing over it and sat and I have a wedding to attend to I can't go see a Dr

[luna1088]

Plus I tried popping them I know I shouldn't but they are hard to pop and nothing come out it kinda sorta feels like a pimple that's not ready to pop eww I know nasty

Just dial in Epsom salt baths daily for as long as possible and more than once a day until symptoms subside. Usually helps me in two days have things clear up.

So why do you think you have GHSV1? Did you test postitive?

 

The hard bumps *could* be herpes but they could also be ingrown hairs. Without a swab you won't know. Blood tests don't tell you WHERE you have Herpes.

@2legit2quit thanks

 

@WCSDancer2010 because I keep getting yeast infections and then stopped getting then I started getting them again and not I have these 2 bumps and the don't look like ingrowns and I believe I have a yeast infection and my genitals are very irritated it hurts to put a tampon on I'm also on my period and yes I tested positive for HSV1

[WCSDancer2010]

Was the test a swab or blood test?

 

If it's a blood test odds are you have it orally and you have something else happening genitally. If it's yeast, get off anything with sugar in it for awhile and get on Probiotics ... certainly sounds like yeast is at least part of the problem.

@WCSDancer2010 it was a blood test and yes I tend to get cold sores and lately I've been getting them a lot and before I only got them once every 6-7 years ago ...yeah I've been eating bad lately gaining a lot of weight and I also tested for hsv2 a couple month ago and was negative so yeah maybe I need to get on a diet maybe that will help

[WCSDancer2010]

Sounds like your system is out of whack ... I'd start there ... it certainly won't hurt either way :)

[luna1088]

@WCSDancer2010 yes ever since I used a douche back in April it ruined everything plus at the same time I had a new partner so that kinda made it crazy idk anymore I keep having to go to the Dr and they never find anything except yeast and BV and me I get panicked with anything

[2Legit2Quit]

Start taking daily probiotics.

[2Legit2Quit]

Are you using latex condoms? I jep getting recurring yeast and bv infections when I used rhem

[luna1088]

@2Legit2Quit I haven't been sexually active since September so no but yes condoms do irritate me...yeah I need to start using probiotics

[2Legit2Quit]

Well stick to nonlatex

[WCSDancer2010]

You may have an allergy to the condoms and if you go bareback, the guy's fluids.

 

You can actually use the probiotics like a douche - put some into some water and put them inside.... sometimes that will help to knock the yeast down.

[luna1088]

@WCSDancer2010 I haven't been sexual active since September but did receive oral sex about a week ago so idk if maybe that made it worse cuz I did feel a yeast infection coming on a week before

 

So I did pop the pimple and white stuff mixed with blood popped out of like a pimple and then just blood, that was last night but its still hard this morning like if its still has stuff inside and one pimple is just about gone by itself

[2Legit2Quit]

Why haven't you had this swabbed?

[luna1088]

@2Legit2Quit cuz it was the weekend on could go on sat because I was at a wedding and I was a bridesmaid and didn't have time to go

[2Legit2Quit]

What about all day yesterday? What's it looking like now?

[luna1088]

@2Legit2Quit I thought I could only get it swabbed 48 hrs into me getting it. It has been longer than that well its still a little bump but its not as big anymore I think its going away and I took a pic of it and it looks like there is a little hair coming out of it so it might have been in ingrown not 100% sure though but does look like it and hope it was

[2Legit2Quit]

Well, just wait until next time and get in to be swabbed asap

[luna1088]

@2Legit2Quit yeah hopefully I don't get it again but in January I'm do for a std testing again including HSV for sure so we'll see hopefully I'm in the clear
