Ah! ok i've never been in this situation before. I have been with my boyfriend for a year.. never unfaithful..and we live together. im 99.9% sure he hasn't cheated on me either. Can herpes be dormant and not show my whole life? or from whenever i contracted it? I have recently had a cyst in my ovary and now that im fine from that i have been itching alot in the vulva and anus area. i'm not very bright and started itching it.. a lot. after the first day of itching i started to have a few bumps on my vulva area. i've never seen it before.. it seems to be under the skin. they don't pop and they are driving me crazy. i haven't even tried to have sex. my boyfriend doesn't seem to have any bumps or anything on his penis. i haven't told him or shown him yet. are you sure this is herpes? my obgyn doesnt have any openings.. she never does!! so idk what to do im getting really depressed about this please help. sorry for the long post.
